AB A qualitative characterisation study was conducted by the World Health
Organisation's Global Programme on AIDS, and the International
Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, in six developing
countries in order to determine the feasibility of introducing blood
donor counselling into procedures for blood donation at blood
transfusion sites. After careful preparation of consultants, in-country
visits were made to include structured discussions with key BTS and Red
Cross, and national AIDS programme staff, and donors, and observations
of relevant facilities. Necessary resources, management requirements,
obstacles to and options for blood donor counselling were explicated,
together with information on the role of HIV testing in motivating blood
donation, and problems associated with this and with donor notification.
Blood donor counselling is seen as feasible, provided minimum conditions
can be established to ensure appropriate standards and availability of
resources.
