Abstract

Allogeneic blood transfusions (ABT) are frequent, and they impose several risks, including hepatitis B and C infection, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, HTLV I/II infection, and post-transfusion reaction [1–13]. Although little is known about patient concerns regarding ABT, the rapid growth in strategies for autologous blood donation suggests a substantial aversion toward these risks [14].
