The impact of bar code in gaining the confidence of rejected blood donors to address the questions with a special focus on HIV

To prevent the transmission of HIV through blood transfusion, blood transfusion centers have embarked on deferring high risk prospected donors by pre-donation consultation and screening blood donors to discard contaminated blood units. Since the deferal of high risk blood donors in consultation sessions in Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization plays a major role in the decrease of HIV risk in donated blood units and considering that high risk behaviours which expose people to HIV are usually deemed taboo making them abstain from speaking about, this study aims to evaluate impact of bar code in gaining the confidence of blood donors to address the questions with a special focus on HIV.
