10% HIV+ blood donors in TN not told about their infection
According to Tamil Nadu State AIDS Control Society (TANSACS), every year, around 10% of blood donors who are found to be HIV+ are not informed. From the 183 donors who tested positive between 2015-2017, 23 were not informed of their infection. Lack of accurate contact details of the patient is a reason for the same, a TANSACS official said.
