Eluding Transfusion * Transmitted HIV Infection : Report of Two Cases
Chuansumrit A Mail, Hathirat P , amsilp W , Chiewsilp P , sarangkura P

Two hemophilia A boys (FVIII : C < 1% and 2.2% ), whose ages were 12 and 14 years
old, received fresh frozen plasma of 140 ml and 210 ml, respectively, in 1989. It was the 27th and
13th donation for each regular donor who was negative for anti-HIV testing. However, both
donors had HIV seroconversion within 95 to 110 days after the last donation. They might have
contracted HIV infection shortly after the last donation. Luckily, the two hemophiliac recipients
are still in good health and negative for anti-HIV and HIV-antigen testings for 7 years.
