This is raising concerns in all. individuals who were transfused or think they might have been transfused before blood donations were tested for HIV. The advice of the Red Cross to all transfusion recipients and persons who think they.may have received blood is that if they are worried about HIV, they should discuss this with their doctor to arrange for HIV testing. Any person infected before 1985 would have a con- firmed positive HIV anti- body test.” Georgetown and District Memorial Hospital joins the Red Cross in recommending anyone who is concerned about possible HIV infec- tion contact their family doctor to arrange for HIV testing.
