A member asked:
Is it possible to know whether somebody got aids because of blood transfusion or through sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: People don't get infected with HIV through blood transfusions anymore, at least not in the developed world. The blood supply has been safe since the mid-1980's. But when it comes to how someone else got hiv; it's best to mind your own business.
