โœฆ Synopsis

Acquired Immunodeficiency Disease (AIDS) may be transmitted by transfusion of blood components, although the risk remains extremely small.

A test for the antibody to the virus responsible for AIDS (HTLV-111) will shortly be in routine use in blood banks, but the frequency with which the results will be falsely negative or falsely positive in a blood donor population remains to be established.
