SAIDS and the Blood Supply
The advent of AIDS and HIV infection has raised new concerns about
the safety of the blood supply in the United States. Although safety has
been a concern since the beginning of the era of transfusion medicine and
is not unique to the AIDS epidemic, the stresses that AIDS places on the
blood supply pose serious challenges to those charged with protecting that
supply. These challenges will require not only the continuing efforts of
the blood banking system, which is responsible for protecting the supply,
but the intervention of both the biomedical and the social/behavioral
research communities to devise strategies that address three major areas
of concern: (~) maintaining an adequate supply of safe blood; (2) ensuring
the safety of that supply; and (3) encouraging appropriate use of blood
and blood components.
Infectious diseases are of paramount interest to those responsible for
protecting the blood supply, but maintaining an adequate supply of safe
blood has become increasingly important as the donors who provide that
supply receive more scrutiny. Only a small fraction of the people who
may be eligible attempt to give blood, and those who do are requiem to
meet increasingly stringent criteria designed to protect blood recipients.
If eligibility cr~tena become even more stringent and the donor pool is
not enlarged, the supply will inevitably contract. The demand for blood
in this country is substantial but not without some flexibility, as noted in
the discussion of the appropriate use of blood at the end of this chapter.
Each year, more than 4 million patients receive approximately 20 million

transfusions of blood or blood components (red blood cells, platelets,
leukocytes, or plasma) prepared from about 12.5 million units2 of blood.
Of the 20 million units used, a significant number may be transfused
unnecessarily.3 In the era of AIDS, the question of the inappropriate use
of blood has come under renewed examination as the balance between
supply and demand becomes increasingly precarious.
Although maintaining an adequate supply of blood is crucial to the
delivery of health care, a great deal of concern has also been expressed
about the safety of the blood that is being donated. Technological ad-
vances provide increasingly expanded capacities to detect evidence of
infectious pathogens in the blood itself, but in the case of AIDS the
time lag between acquisition of HIV infection and the production of
antibodies highlights the limitations of technology to solve all of the
problems AIDS brings to blood. Thus, technological solutions must be
augmented by behavioral strategies that focus on donor character~stics-
who the donors are and whether they engage in behaviors that may have
put them at risk for acquiring HIV infection and emphasize approaches
that identify, recruit, and retain only those donors who are least likely
to be infected. After 1975, the blood collection system in the United
States ceased outright payments, except in a few cases, for the donation
of whole blood.4 Studies of viral hepatitis demonstrated that the rate of
this infection was greater In recipients of blood from paid donors than In
recipients of blood from volunteers (Walsh et al., 1970; Alter, Holland,
and Purcell, 1975; Seeff et al., 1975; Alter, 1987~. An all-volunteer
system was established to prevent the intrusion of undesirable factors
(e.g., financial remuneration) into motivations to donate blood. Yet the
question of safety does not stand alone. Indeed, shortages, which have
been apparent in some areas of the country for some time, reemerge as
a continuing problem that now warrants additional attention. Thus, the
issues of adequate supply and safety are integrally connected.
In this chapter, the committee looks at how blood is collected, how
the balance between supply and demand can be maintained through in-
tervention strategies targeting the donors that supply the blood and the
physicians that prescribe its use, and behavioral mechanisms to protect

the safety of the blood supply. Because of the connection between an
adequate and a safe blood supply, the committee has grouped its recom-
mendations concerning these issues after its review of related substantive
material.
BRIEF HISTORY AND OVERVIEW OF THE PROBLEM
Early in the epidemic, suspicions arose that AIDS could be transmitted
by transfusion (CDC, '982; Curran etal., 1984~. In the spring of 1983,
cases of AIDS diagnosed among hemophiliacs were thought to be related
to clotting factor concentrates made from contaminated blood (Evatt et
al., 19831. Although the etiologic or causative agent of AIDS had not
been identified in the early 1980s and no specific diagnostic tests were
available, reports of cases among transfusion recipients and hemophiliacs
prompted blood banks to institute a variety of procedures to reduce
the risk of AIDS associated with blood transfusions. Such procedures
included efforts to exclude donors who were members of groups at high
risk for the disease, studies of the use of tests that measured factors
considered to be surrogate markers of AIDS (e.g., antibody to hepatitis
B core antigen, T-lymphocyte ratios), the increased use of autologous
donation (providing one's own blood for personal use), and the reduction
of unnecessary transfusions of blood and blood components (Nichols,
1986~.
After the etiologic agent, HIV, was identified and blood tests for
. .
antibody to the virus became available in March 1985, blood collec-
tion organizations added this serologic test to their screening procedures
(CDC, 1985; Ward et al., 1986~. Yet despite the high sensitivity of HIV
antibody tests, they do not detect all infected donors (CDC, 1986; Ward
et al., 198Sb). A variable length of time elapses between acquisition of
the virus and development of a detectable antibody response. Generally,
this period is no more than a few months, but in one study virus was
isolated from blood samples of 27 men who did not yet exhibit antibod-
ies for periods of as long as three years after the initial positive virus
culture (Imagawa et al., 19891. Dunng this so-called "window" period,
the blood collected from an infected donor may test negative and thus
go undetected by the serologic screening mechanisms employed in most
blood banks.5
The current incidence of HIV infection from antibody-negative blood
in the United States is not known. Estimates vary from a rate of approx-
imately one infection for every 40,000-50,000 units transfused (N. D.
S Although evidence of infection can be demonstrated among antibody-negative individuals during the
window period, the precise risk associated with transmission during this period is not known.

Cohen et al., 1989) to one in every 153,000 units transfused (summing
et al., 19891.6 Estimates of the prevalence of detectable HIV infection
in donors have ranged from 1.3 to 5 per 10,000 (Ward et al., 1988a;
Hughes et al., 19891. These rates, however, are not constant across all
donor groups, geographic areas, or time. For example, seroprevalence
rates are higher among black and Hispanic donors and among younger
males (Ward et al., 1988a; Hughes et al., 19891. It also appears that
repeat donors, especially females, are less likely to be infected than are
first-time donors (summing et al., 1989; Leitman et al., 19891. The
proportion of HIV antibody-positive donations has also decreased over
time. This decrease is due both to notification and exclusion of donors
found to be positive for antibody to HIV and to success in donor self-
exclusion measures, donor prescreening, community education efforts,
availability of HIV antibody tests in alternative sites for donors who have
been using blood collection systems for this service, and a reduction in
the incidence of new HIV infections in some populations (Ward et al.,
1988a; Hughes et al., 19891.7 Nevertheless, the risk of HIV transmission
through transfusion remains (Kleinman and Secord, 1988; N. D. Cohen
et al., 1989~.
Although HIV antibody tests cannot eliminate all possibility of
transfusion-associated HIV infection, Hey have vastly improved the
safety of the blood supply. Additional methods to detect infected units,
such as those based on recombinant-DNA technology, synthetic peptides,
and gene-amplification techniques, are being explored to increase the sen-
sitivity of serologic testing (Menitove, 1989~. Other safeguards involving
improved donor screening and recruitment are also being evaluated and
implemented as described below.

THE BLOOD COLLECTION SYSTEM IN THE UNITED STATES
hn the United States there are two separate systems that collect blood for
various products: (1) a commercial system that pays donors for plasmas
6Cumming and colleagues (1989) report a range of one infection in 88,000 units transfused to one in
300,000. Earlier in the epidemic, Kleinman and Secord (1988) estimated that the risk of infection from
blood that tested negative for HIV antibody was between one in 51,000 units to one in 102,000 units.
The lower rates of infection associated with antibody-negative donations that have been derived from
more recently collected data may reflect diminishing numbers of HIV-positive donors and a changing
donor pool that may include more tested donors (Menitove, 1989).
7It should be noted that before testing was available, self-exclusionary and prescreening measures
resulted in significant deferral rates among gay men (Wykoff and Halsey, 1986).
8 Plasma is the fluid component of blood that transports water, nutrients, minerals, oxygen, and hor-
mones to all cells of the body. It also contains important proteins and other substances vital to the
clotting capacity of blood and to maintaining the integrity of the circulation. Plasma collected from

used by industry to manufacture albumin, antihemophilic factor, gamma
globulin, and various protein derivatives; and (2) a voluntary system
for whole blood that uses no monetary incentives to motivate donations.
This latter system provides whole blood and blood components such as
platelets, red blood cells, cryoprecipitate, and plasma for blood trans-
fusion services. Plasma that is not used for transfusion is provided to
pharmaceutical companies for the manufacture of blood products. This
report deals only with the voluntary system for whole blood collection.
The volunteer donor system expects healthy individuals to donate
blood to meet the needs of their community; those who need blood
then receive it at the cost of collection plus processing. Occasionally,
individuals make directed donations, donating blood specifically for use
by friends or relatives. Before the AIDS epidemic, enough volunteers
gave blood to maintain an adequate supply for most parts of the country
although only 5 or 6 percent of the adult population donated blood in any
given year. Today, however, there is not enough blood available locally
in several U.S. communities, and in such cases blood must be acquired
from individuals in other locales.
The Organization of Blood Collection
There are three major blood collection organizations operating at the
community level: the Amencan Red Cross, the American Association
of Blood Barks (AABB), and the Council of Community Blood Centers
(CCBC). The American Red Cross currently collects about half of the
blood used in the United States (Kalish, Cable, and Roberts, 1986~. The
AABB and the members of the CCBC and independent hospital blood
banks collect the remainder. On the United States, approximately 80
percent of donated blood is collected at mobile sites through blood drives
that recruit donors from organizations such as high schools, universities,
businesses, and corporations of wearying size, as well as the offices of
local governments and other public-sector organizations. Equipment to
collect blood is brought to the donors, either through a bloodmobile van
or in temporary facilities set up at the donors' organization. Blood is also
collected at fixed sites (e.g., buildings that house the necessary equipment
and staff on a permanent basis). Individuals who come to donate on their
own initiative may prefer fixed sites, although few studies link different
subpopulations of donors to donation sites. Thus, it is not clear that fixed
sites and mobile operations are dealing with the same donor populations.
paid donors in the commercial system is treated with detergents or heat to kill infectious pathogens,
including viruses (Horowitz, 1987). Thus, the danger of acquiring HIV infection from these products
is greatly reduced.

294 ~ AIDS: THE SECOND DECADE
Once the blood has been collected and tested for a variety of infec-
tious agents Concluding HIV), those units that pass all safety requirements
are distributed to blood banks and organizations that transfuse blood
and blood products, such as hospitals and dialysis centers. The shelf
life of blood and blood components ranges from 72 hours to 42 days,
depending on the specific component. However, frozen products can
generally withstand longer periods of storage than fresh ones, although
some components (e.g., platelets) cannot be frozen.
Exclusionary Procedures
Donor deferral measures have two goals: (1) to protect the donor from
potential harm and (2) to ensure the safety of the recipient. People are
deferred from donation, either temporarily or permanently, for a number
of reasons, including fever, anemia, a history of exposure to malaria,
recent infection, signs of symptoms of HIV infection, or a history of
r~sk-associated behavior. Blood banks have established procedures to
assist potential donors in their assessment of whether they may have
been exposed to HIV and to discourage those at risk from donat~ng.9
Each donor is given information about the donation process and about
infections transmitted by blood, especially HIV, and asked to read it
carefully. Those who have signs or symptoms of AIDS or who have
engaged in behaviors that put them at risk are asked not to donate
(self-defer) and are informed that they may leave the donation site with
no explanation required. Potential donors who choose to continue the
donation process provide a confidential health history, which is given to
or reviewed by a member of the blood collection staff. (Donors are asked
a number of health-related questions, including questions about possible
exposure to HIV and symptoms consistent with HIV-related illnesses.)
Following the health history, donors are asked to attest that they have
read and understood the information about risk factors for AIDS.
Because some potential donors fee} pressure to donate blood (es-
pecially during blood drives) and others may not have been truthful in
responding to questions posed during the health history, all donors are
offered yet another opportunity to exclude their unit from the blood sup-
ply even if they complete the donation process. The donor is asked to
choose one of two options for handling the unit of blood indicating either
that (1) the blood may be used for transfusion or (2) the blood should
not be transfused. Donors select the option in private or using a code so
9Minimum donor guidelines for exclusionary criteria have been established by federal regulatory law,
but additional restrictions can be imposed by blood collection organizations (Linden, Gregorio, and
Kalish, 1988).

that others in the blood collection facility will not learn of the choice.
This step is referred to as confidential unit exclusion, or the CUE. Some
centers also use a callback system that permits donors after leaving the
site to notify the blood bank that they may be at risk. Regardless of
subsequent laboratory test results, all units identified by the donors for
exclusion from transfusion are removed from the blood distribution pool.
This step allows a donor to go through the entire donation process in the
presence of friends and associates without revealing potentially sensitive
inflation and without compromising the safety of the blood supply.
Exclusionary Procedures: The Organizational Perspective
Although donors who may be at risk of acquiring HIV infection are
discouraged from donating and are given an opportunity to have their
blood discarded through self-exclusion mechanisms, these approaches
are by no means fully effective. The majority of donors who are found to
be HIV antibody positive do not self-exclude. Thus, continuing efforts are
needed to improve approaches for discouraging HTV-infected individuals
from giving blood and to educate potential donors more effectively to
improve self-exclusion. In this section, the committee looks at how the
organization of blood collection might affect donor deferral and proposes
structural changes that may improve this process. In a later section of
the chapter, the committee reviews the impact of exclusionary measures
on donor behavior.
Generally, AIDS-related information is only provided to prospective
donors when they a:Tive to give blood. It may also be productive to
contact individuals before they come to donate and provide specific
information about behaviors that exclude donors. This practice would
allow prospective donors time to reflect on their risk status and to make
decisions regarding donation in private and under conditions of lower
social pressure. In setting the tone for such information, blood collection
organizations should stress both the factors that motivate donors to give
(which are described below) and the altruistic reasons for not donating
if at risk. It should be made clear that appropriate self-deferral is a
community-spirited act.
There are other informational issues that blood collection organiza-
tions must consider. In addition to providing AIDS-related information,
community blood centers may wish at this time of increasing fear and
decreasing supply to increase their efforts to educate the public regarding
blood donation in general. Such efforts should tap a broader range of
individuals and organizations and make more effective use of coordina-
tion. The media can also play an important role in providing messages
OCR for page 289
296 ~ AIDS: THE SECOND DECADE
about the need for blood, the need for specific individuals to give, the
safety and ease of giving, the collective responsibility for the quality and
quantity of the blood supply, and the problems associated with alternative
collection systems (such as directed and paid donation).
One approach to improving self-deferral, albeit a controversial one,
has been the use of direct questions concerning intimate personal be-
havior. In August 1989, the American Association of Blood Banks took
the tradition-breaking position that donors should be asked specific ques-
tions regarding risky behaviors during the health history. Although the
presumption had been that donors would not be likely to answer such
questions honestly, recent studies suggest that direct questioning may be
more effective than previously thought in identifying high-nsk donors.
Silvergleid, LeParc, and Schmidt (1989) found that 90 percent of donors
approved of direct questioningly and that direct (as opposed to indirect)
questioning resulted in a fivefold increase in deferrals for participation in
high-nsk activities. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
one of the federal institutions responsible for regulating the blood collec-
tion system in this county, has provided recommendations concerning
the provision of educational materials to donors, to date no guidelines
have been developed concerning direct questioning of potential donors
during the health history.
The use of explicit questions during the donation process can create
problems related to loss of privacy and confidentiality if one donor can
overhear the questions asked and answers given by another. This problem
would be most severe in small bloodmobiles or in an instance in which
a donor knows others who are giving blood at the same time. Thus,
if interviewing is to be effective in eliciting truthful responses to direct
questions on sensitive matters, the physical settings in which interviews
take place must take privacy into account. One possible solution might
be computer-conducted health history interviews, which afford privacy
even when space is limited. Computer questioning may also eliminate
embarrassment on the part of both interviewer and interviewee when
sensitive topics are covered and might lead to greater honesty in reporting
risk behaviors. However, the capacity of donors to understand written
material and to use computers must be kept in mind when developing
such an interview format.
Changes in the "processing" of donors raise staffing issues for blood
collection organizations. Increased scrutiny of potential donors involves
a more detailed history and currently relies on a face-to-face interview
Wholly 1 percent of donors found the questions to be embarrassing, and only 1 percent said Hey would
stop donaimg blood because of explicit questioning (Silvergleid, LeParc, and Schmidt, 1989).
OCR for page 289

concerning behaviors that may be stigmatizing or even illegal. Expe-
rience from survey research involving personal interviews shows that
adequate interviewer training improves the quality of the data that are
collected (Hymen et al., 1975; Fowler, 1989; Fowler and Mangione,
1990; Campbell et al., n.d.~. Studies of sexual behavior have revealed
that even experienced interviewers require special training to gather valid
data on sensitive topics (Reinisch, Sanders, and Ziemba-Davis, 19881.
Blood collection staff who are not professionally trained in discussing
sensitive personal issues may fee] uncomfortable and therefore may not
be very effective in this area. Specific training may help these staff over-
come this battier or identify those who should not be entrusted with this
task.
Processing donors raises the difficult issue of managing donors who
must be deferred. Donors who are temporarily or permanently deferred
require careful attention from staff. Donors who are permanently deferred
must be made to understand that they should not give blood again.
However, donors who are temporarily deferred may be eligible to donate
in the future and, in the interest of securing an adequate supply of blood,
these donors should be effectively encouraged to return at an appropriate
time. Because little is known about the factors associated with successful
management of permanent or temporary deferral of donors, this topic
could benefit from additional research.
Although organizational issues may be important in fine-tuning donor
screening to maintain a safe blood supply, other issues must also be
addressed. If blood banks are to reconsider how they recruit and retain
sufficient numbers of safe donors, several questions need to be answered.
What motivates people to donate? What are the banners to donation?
What characterizes safe donors? The next section discusses available
data on donor demographics and behavior and explores areas in which
additional information is needed.
MAINTAINING AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF SAFE BLOOD
Given the increasing restrictions on donors, it is reasonable to question
whether the number of donors will be sufficient to maintain a supply of
blood that is adequate to meet current and future demands. The American
Red Cross estimates that, of 14.8 million donors who presented at blood
collection sites between 1986 and 1987, 1.3 million were deferred. Of
13.2 million units collected, 0.7 million were rejected at the time of testing
(summing, Schorr, and Wallace, 1987~. The impact of exclusionary
policies on the adequacy and safety of the blood supply remains an
important area of study, although existing data indicate increasingly lower

298
AIDS: THE SECOND DECADE
rates of HIV antibody-positive donations over time. These data also
show significant decreases in the number of high-nsk donors, especially
males. As more donors are deferred and as more donations are rejected,
the issue of supply shortages will inevitably anse.
Periodic shortages are already occurring, arid some regions must ob-
ta~n blood from other areas. In deciding whether or not to obtain blood
from other areas during periods of shortage, administrators of blood col-
lection organizations may balance the cost of more intensive recruitment
efforts against the cost of getting blood from another organization. In
areas win persistent shortages, management may favor purchasing blood
from other areas, as recruitment efforts are very costly and may not result
in a supply that will be adequate to meet the demand.
Although the precise number of people whose medical or behavioral
history excludes them from the pool of potential donors is uncertain,
recent research suggests that more than half of the men and women in
the United States should be eligible to give blood Gregory and Linden,
1988; Linden, Gregorio, and Kalish, 1988~.~3 Thus, factors other than
11In a New York area study that compared the donor population of 1982 to that of 1983, Pindyck
and coworkers (1985) found that male participation in New York City decreased by 6.1 percent; the
decrease was particularly striking among 21- to 36-year-old males. Medical screening resulted in
rejection of 2 percent of all individuals presenting as donors at the Greater New York Blood Program
and the confidential unit of exclusion (CUE) procedure eliminated another 1.4 percent. However, there
was an overall increase in blood collections of 1.1 percent, largely due to increases in the participation
of women and men from over areas (Pindyck et al., 1985). A review of 818,629 donations collected
in three major blood centers in the United States between March 1985 and July 1986 found that 450,
or 0.05 percent' were HIV antibody positive (Ward et al., 1988a). Between May 1988 and September
1989, 756 HIV antibody-positive donations (0.029 percent) were found among 2.65 million donations
at 19 different blood centers (Council of Community Blood Centers, 1989).
12 Anecdotal infonnation indicates that the Irwin Memorial Blood Bank in San Francisco is encoun-
tering the worst shortage of donors in its 50-year history. (See David Perlman, "Major Blood Bank
Facing Worst-Ever Shortage of Donors," San Franc~sco Chronicle, February 1, 1989.) For example,
normal inventory would include 350 units of type O-positive blood, but on January 31, 1989, only 9
units were available; 60 units were flown in from Milwaukee. However, the cause of this shortage is
less than clear, blood bank officials indicated that flu viruses were in part to blame (see George Raine,
`'Bay Area Supplies of Blood at Crisis," San Francisco Examiner, February 1, 1989).
13The eligible donor population was estimated by subtracting from the number of 17- to 7S-year-olds
identified in the 1980 census the number of individuals meeting American Red Cross exclusion criteria
for (1) low hematocrit levels, (2) inadequate body weight, (3) recent pregnancy, (4) heart disease,
(5) diabetes requiring insulin, (6) high blood pressure, (7) male homosexual activity since 1977, (8)
intravenous drug use, (9) sexual contact with a member of a high-risk group, (10) transfusion within
the previous six months, (11) history of cancer, and (12) other factors, including a history of hepatitis,
medications, and certain types of foreign travel. (See Linden, Gregorio, and Kalish [1988] for criteria
definition, data sources, and estimates of individuals meeting exclusionary criteria as well as estimated
overlap across criteria.) The authors estimate that 57 percent of women and 70 percent of men are
eligible to donate blood. Screening for hepatitis C (non-A, non-B) virus would further reduce these
numbers but only slightly.

eligibility, including willingness to give blood, play an important role
in maintaining an adequate blood supply. The current challenge lies in
utilizing available information on the characteristics of individuals who
donated in the past and on factors that motivate people to participate to
devise effective strategies for safe donor recruitment.
Who Donates Blood?
In the United States most blood is given by donors who have given blood
before (American Red Cross Mid-America Regional Blood Services,
1980; Piliavin and Callero, in press). Epidemiological studies find that
repeat blood donors—especially repeat female donors have the lowest
rates of infections transmitted through transfusion (Dondero et al., 1987;
Cumming et al., 1989~. Consequently, both supply and safety issues
highlight the importance of retaining safe donors once they have been
identified.
Prior to the AIDS epidemic most blood donors were men (Oswalt,
1977~; depending on when and where the data were collected, men
constituted between 49 and 91 percent of the donor population (Boe,
1976; American Red Cross Mid-Amer~ca Regional Blood Services, 1980;
American Red Cross Blood Services, Los Angeles-Orange Counties Re-
gion, 1981; L~ightman, 19811. In a recent survey, ~ percent of men and 5
percent of women in the general population claimed to have given blood
in the past year (Dawson, 19891. Among first-time donors, however, fe-
males predominate (Mell, 1979; Callero, 19831. Because the majority of
AIDS cases have been diagnosed among men, blood drives have looked
to women as potential sources of safer blood. Unfortunately, fewer
women than men are repeat donors, and gender discrepancies therefore
become more apparent with subsequent donations (Mell, 1979; American
Red Cross Mid-America Regional Blood Services, 1980; Callero, 1983;
American Red Cross Greater Buffalo Chapter, 1985~. Less than a third
of blood donors who have given one gallon or more are women (Mell,
1979; Piliavin and Callero, in press).
A factor that may be related to the loss of women from the donor pool
is low hemoglobin levels and depletion of iron stores, which can lead to
temporary deferral. Unfortunately, even temporary discouragement from
donation may have permanent effects. One remedy to this problem is
routine provision of iron supplements to permit such women to remain
regular donors (Gordeuk et al., 19871. In an experiment using "VIP"
donors a special group whose members volunteer to donate at least four
times a year—administenng iron supplements to menstruating female
