Red Cross tests donor blood for HTLV-I virus
The American Red Cross began testing donor blood for the HTLV-I virus linked to a form of leukemia. If 30,000 samples show signs, broad screening may start to prevent transfusion transmission, a key move given the virus’s long incubation and potential spread. The study targets five regions with 6,000 donors each.
