AB  - On November 26, 2014, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) contacted 
      CDC concerning a report from the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department 
      (SBPHD) regarding acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in a repeat blood 
      donor. The patient, who was asymptomatic, was first alerted of the infection by 
      the blood bank and had no traditional risk factors for HCV infection. The donor 
      had a negative HCV nucleic acid test (NAT) 56 days before the first positive NAT 
      test, and an investigation into the donor's health care exposures and other 
      potential risk factors, including injection drug use, incarceration, and 
      long-term hemodialysis within this narrow exposure window, was conducted by 
      SBPHD.
