Assessing HIV trends among blood donors in five Brazilian blood centers: The impact of individual donor assessment

The Recipient Epidemiology and Donor Evaluation Study-IV-Pediatric (REDS-IV-P) Brazil component collects blood donor screening data from five public centers. From January 2017 to December 2023, we report frequencies, rates, and 95% confidence interval (CI) of confirmed HIV-positive donations among FTD, HIV NAT-yield rates for FTD and RD, and the incidence of confirmed HIV among RD before and after the policy change. We also report multivariable regression analysis results.
