A member asked:

Could use your help docs! my wife had a blood transfusion. ..should i be worried ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It is amazingly safe. Infection risk is basically zero nowadays. Blood bankers encourage its use only when truly needed. You should and I trust are more concerned about the underlying reason for her needing it. Best wishes to you both.
