Abstract

We collected information on the development of clinical signs and laboratory results from a cohort of 58 people infected with HIV through blood transfusion. The observation time ranged from 36 to 100 months. Belonging to the older age group at the time of transfusion was found to be an important factor for rapid progression to AIDS. Sex or physical health at the time of transfusion did not influence the latency period.
