Self-Deferral, HIV Infection, and the Blood Supply: Evaluating an AIDS Intervention.
Kaplan, Edward H.; Novick, Alvin
Evaluation Review, v14 n6 p686-700 Dec 1990
This paper evaluates the effectiveness of self-deferral, a social screen implemented to protect the U.S. blood supply from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection prior to the advent of laboratory testing. Mathematical models are developed to estimate the number of infectious transfusions ultimately leading to AIDS prior to self-deferral. (TJH)
