I had a blood transfusion. Could I be infected with HIV?

It is highly unlikely. All donated blood has been tested for HIV since 1985.
Donors are asked if they have practiced behaviors that place them at increased risk for HIV. If they have, they are not allowed to donate blood.
Today the American blood supply is extremely safe.
If you are still concerned about the remote possibility of HIV infection from a transfusion, you should see your doctor or seek counseling about getting an HIV antibody test. Call the CDC National AIDS Hotline (1-800-342-AIDS) or your local health department to find out about counseling and testing facilities in your area.
