Abstract

Abstract: Prevention of transfusion-transmitted infection is one of the most important procedure in blood bank. Donor selection by oral interview with prepared questions for risk factors of has been done in Siriraj Blood Bank since 1996. However HIV-infected blood donors still have been identified. We re-interviewed 89 blood donors who were diagnosed as anti-HIV positive during 1996-1999. Seventy-three (82.02%) donors had risk behaviors, eight (8.98%) donors had sexual partners who had risk behaviors while eight (8.98%) donors did not have risk behavior. Eighteen donors (20 22%) failed to meet blood donor criteria in the interview form. Six donors (6.47%) donated blood with the purpose to get AIDS' test. Improvement of our interview system especially training and
education of interviewer is necessary in order to render efficacy of donor selection.
