CASE REPORT In January, 2007 a 44 year-old male, repeat donor, went to the blood bank for his 52nd donation. On that occasion, his infectious screening tests were negative, including minipool NAT and anti-HIV antibodies. In April, 2007 he returned to donate blood and was reactive for HIV (both antigen and antibody, [S / CO = 20.0]) but negative for NAT (minipool as well as individual testing). Given this finding, his frozen sample of his previous donation done in January, 2007 was tested individually with NAT and the result came back positive with a viral load of 146 IU/mL. On the other hand, the blood recipient, a 69-year-old male who underwent cardiac surgery in February, 2007 was identified. Fortunately, it was possible to recover a plasma sample drawn 10 days after the suspicious transfusion, and the serologic result came positive for HIV RNA. At re-examination of the donor, some risky practices that had initially been denied were identified, particularly homosexual behavior.
