About 28,000 units of blood are collected per annum. This is adequate for present needs. 11 donors have been found positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) since testing started in 1987, 8 of these in the last year and a half. No case of transmission of HIV by transfusion in Papua New Guinea has been established. Although the prevalence varies in different areas, on average 15% of donors are positive for hepatitis B. The impact of these figures, future requirements for quantity of blood and the need for additional testing of donations for hepatitis C (HCV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) will require clear evaluation of the choices and firm decisions.
每年采集约28000单位的血液。这足以满足目前的需求。自1987年开始检测以来,已发现11名献血者的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)呈阳性,其中8例是在过去一年半内发现的。巴布亚新几内亚尚未证实有通过输血传播HIV的病例。虽然不同地区的患病率有所不同,但平均有15%的献血者乙型肝炎呈阳性。这些数据的影响、未来对血液数量的需求以及对丙型肝炎(HCV)和巨细胞病毒(CMV)献血进行额外检测的必要性,将需要对各种选择进行明确评估并做出坚定决策。
