Abstract: This study is based upon an interview with 31 individuals recently detected human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive through the systematic screening of blood donations. The location of the blood donation, the type of blood donor, the risk of HIV infection, were established. Questions dealt with the use of blood donation as a diagnosis test and on the notion of an oral or written self-exclusion before the blood donation. The majority of the individuals had a classical risk factor of HIV infection and had given blood for serological testing. This data can allow an adaptation of the medical interview preceding the blood donation to the present epidemiological context of HIV infection.
