General

If I register with DKMS-BMST, will I automatically be tested for HIV?

As part of your registration with DKMS-BMST, your tissue characteristic combinations will be examined. However, no tests for specific infections are carried out. Since specific requests for a blood stem cell donation may not be made until years later, we do not examine you for specific infections such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C, until you are actually being considered as a donor.

There are many ways to get involved and support our mission.
You could be raising awareness, join the registry, hosting your own event, taking on a fundraising challenge, or anything in between.
