Introduction: There has been concern that some individuals may donate blood primarily motivated by the access to (HIV) testing and that such donors may represent a risk to the transfusion service
Methods: This is a cross sectional study utilizes a questionnaire. 200000 people were surveyed. The sample was selected using systematic randomic sampling the questionnaires include. 1) Personal characteristics of respondents. 2) Reason for blood donation. 3) Risk factor of HIV if they donate blood for HIV check up. Chi Square, logistic regression and analysis Analysis of variance were done for data analysis.
Results: Mean age of respondents was 34.6±11.3 SD.% 82.4 were male and %69.8. Were married the mean number of blood donation was 6.7±0.325.A total of %14.8 respondents reported to have donated blood in order to check up. The tendency for HIV check up was higher in men, single donor and first time blood donor (P<0.05). There were no correlations between job, education, age and HIV check up (P>0.05). The risk factor of them for HIV were % 38.3, sexual contact, %18.7 contact with person who suspecious to HIV% 3.7 drug use, %2.8 tattoo and %36.5 unknown.
Conclusions: In this survey 14.8[%] of people donate blood for HIV check up and this can be dangerous for blood safety. The most risk factor that reported was sexual contact For safe blood supply we have to educate people in order to not donate blood for health check up and discussing population about residual risk of HIV transmission through blood and importance of blood donor for blood safety.
