Do I still need lymphocyte immunization therapy?

Do I still need lymphocyte immunization therapy? I really hate it! I suspect that I got mycoplasma infection from blood transfusion. I did mycoplasma screening in the consecutive months or two months apart. I forgot the dates. From negative mycoplasma IgM, IgG, it became positive IgM and negative IgG. That means the infection was quite recent that time. My husband was negative for mycoplasma infection. I don't care much because that is curable.

But, now the situation is quite different. I am taking Imuran, I cannot afford another infection.
1. What is the standard blood test? Blood typing, cmv, hepatitis A,B,C , hiv, malaria, syphilis
2. What if the donor has recent toxoplasma infection? Or ureaplasma? Are these transmittable by blood?
3. How does the ivig protein differ from my blood donors' protein? Hehehe... My donor's protein can also attack my FC and FAB, correct?

I realized that playing my favorite role as devil's advocate again. See you on wednsday! I guess six is enough.
