Donating Plasma - Negative Effects?

I've had it done before. Cool for quick money I guess, but it's a very very boring experience, and somewhat scary, for the fact it was in very shady area (the facility was nice, but everything surrounding it...eh)
In fact, I've never seen to a plasma center that wasn't in the ghetto. So be warned.

But they put the blood back in! Along with some saline at the end to make up for the loss of plasma.
The place where I donated plasma separates the plasma from the whole blood then the machine automatically replaces the reb blood cells. This is done in cycles usually 7 to 8 total.
From what? Your own blood? They don't reuse the needles!
All the filter kits are new. I can't see how it's possible to get AIDS of any kind.

I tried to donate plasma when i turned 18. Things were going fine during the consultation until they took a look at my arm. They said my "veins are too small". Works for me, once they started talking about how big the needle was & the whole finger prick thing-I quickly started to think that I could find other ways to get $30-40.
But it's SUPER -AIDES!
It will jump from wherever it happens to be in the universe right to your vein when you donate blood.
SUPER AIDES!
Duh.
superaid sounds like it might help replenish electrolytes, therefore i must champion its (absolutely confirmed) existence.
