AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine factors associated with HIV infection in blood donor 
      candidates in Recife, Brazil. METHODS: A transversal study was performed of 
      106,203 blood donor candidates found eligible by the routine clinical screening 
      process in the blood bank in Recife of the Fundacao de Hematologia e Hemoterapia 
      de Pernambuco (HEMOPE) in the period from January 1998 to November 2003. 
      Additional indirect immune and western blot confirmation tests for HIV infection 
      were performed and the candidates were classified as HIV positive or negative. 
      The Chi-squared test and stepwise multiple logistic regression were conducted to 
      examine any association between HIV infection and age, gender, place of 
      residence, schooling, number of donations and serological tests for core 
      hepatitis B antigen virus (anti-HBc), the hepatitis C antivirus (anti-HCV), human 
      T-type antivirus lymph cells (anti-HTLV 1 and 2), serological tests for syphilis 
      (VDRL) and the hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg). RESULTS: In the 
      observed sample, 0.204% of blood donor candidates were found to be HIV positive. 
      Among the studied variables, the age, education level, residency, donation type, 
      and serologic status for anti-HBc and VDRL tests were found to be associated with 
      HIV infection. CONCLUSIONS: The younger, spontaneous donor candidates living in 
      the Recife metropolitan area with a low level of education and positive for 
      anti-HBc and VDRL have an higher risk of HIV infection than the other candidates. 
      Data such as these are useful to understand the dynamics of infection and to 
      guide healthcare policies.
