چکیده
Blood donor screening for HIV antibody was carried out at Blood Transfusion Service of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre. Sera of 1655 blood donors were tested by Enzyme linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (Abbott recombinant HIV-1-EIA) from March, 1987 to December, 1989. Initial reactivity was noted in seven cases, of which three were repeatedly reactive. When these were tested by western blot at National Institute of Health, all were reported negative. Thus no HIV positive blood donor was found in the subject population.
