THE IMPACT OF AIDS ON THE VOLUNTARY BLOOD DONOR SYSTEM: A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS

The possibility that acquired immune deficiency syndrome ( [DS) is transmitted by blood and blood products has been suggested by the feasibility of transmission of an AIDS agent by intravenous drug abusers in a manner similar to transmission of hepatitis B,’ the occurrence of AIDS in hemophilia patients receiving factor VIII concentrates,2 and the reports of AIDS in adults with no known risk factors who had received prior blood transfusion.’ These possibilities, the relative paucity of scientific information, and the magnitude of lay press and media interest hold potential for generating a series of impacts on the voluntary blood services sector. To assess these potential impacts, changes in donor selection policy, blood collections, inventory levels, and distributions are reviewed.
