I understand that approval by MMBNT as a milk donor is in no way an indication that my milk is safe to share with individuals outside of the milk bank.  Milk banks take multiple steps to assure the safety of donor milk beyond health screening of the donor.  Therefore, I understand that my approval as a donor is not a guarantee of the safety of my milk for a recipient if it has not been processed by a HMBANA non-profit donor milk bank and may not be used to qualify me as a milk donor in any other capacity.



I hereby certify that to the best of my knowledge I understand and have answered all questions truthfully. I have read the information provided to me regarding the spread of HIV and AIDS. I do not consider myself to be a person to be at risk for spreading HIV, AIDS or any other disease.
