A female client is concerned that she is in a “high-risk” group for the development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). She wants to know about the advisability of donating blood. Which of the following responses is correct?
A.
“Individuals who donate blood are at risk of getting the AIDS virus. You should not donate.”
B.
“It’s OK for you to donate because the blood bank has a test that is 100% effective.”
C.
“You should not donate since it takes time to develop antibodies to the AIDS virus. If you donate blood before you develop the antibody, you could pass it on in the blood.”
D.
“It is not a good idea for you to donate. If you have AIDS, the information is made public and could destroy your personal life.”
(A) The AIDS virus cannot be transmitted to the donor through the blood donation procedure. (B) The test for the AIDS virus is not absolutely foolproof; therefore, it is not wise for a person with known risk factors to donate blood.

(D) For reasons of confidentiality, information about individuals infected with AIDS is not made public.
