AB OBJECTIVE: To quantify differences between prospectively- and
retrospectively-elicited sexual behaviors among HIV+ donors. METHODS:
1,198 prospective blood donors were interviewed. Thirty-eight
HIV-positives were identified. At the same time, 50 HIV-positive donors
not captured by the system, i.e. emergency or at mobile sites, were
interviewed with the same questionnaire as a part of post-test
counseling. RESULTS: The two groups were comparable in demographics,
frequency of donation, and age at first sex. However, prospective donors
significantly reported less frequent histories of many, but not all,
STDs (in the past 3 and 12 months), extra-marital sex (13.2% vs 44%) and
prostitute visit (7.9% vs 20%). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Since
reporting of sexual histories among HIV-positives can be variably
affected by the counseling, it is more advisable to develop donation
deferral criteria based on prospective information.
