Lettie knows all about this, but she's still in Australia. She told me all about it, as she did her dissertstion for her degree on HIV.
As far as I know blood is now screened for the HIV virus, amongst other things. That blood could be used safely if it was 'washed', but this wouldn't be cost effective, as it is relatively expensive to do.
People could of course lie. I've written before about someone I used to work with. In theory he was in a low risk group, ie: solely hetrosexual, and not a drug user. The fact that he visited prostitutes every lunchtime, and according to him didn't always have protected sex, is another story.
