"There were over 14,000 cases of AIDS where the patient received blood products.
Remember that in America the blood is screened and the chances of contracting HIV and subsequent AIDS is very, very, very, very, very low.
So that infers that either the blood screeners are lying about the chances (there aren't too many blood transfusions statistically speaking) or someone or some group is really working overtime to donate blood disproportionate to the general population. "
Scary, scary stuff. Yet, somehow I've never trusted the "It's OK - our blood is 100% trusted" mantra.
14,000 people are testament to this.
