Trends in transfusion‐transmissible infections among <scp>A</scp>ustralian blood donors from 2005 to 2010

Abstract

Both the prevalence and the incidence of TTIs in Australian blood donors remained low, with a steady or declining trend for most infections except active syphilis. The lower prevalence of TTIs in blood donors compared with the general population reflects the effectiveness of donor education and donor selection measures in Australia.
