Abstract: This proposed study, “The effectiveness of donor notification, HIV counseling, and linkage of HIV positive donors to health care in Brazil” (The Brazil Notification Study)”, addresses this significant information gap with three objectives. The first objective formally measures donor notification rates in Brazil. The second objective measures HIV follow-up rates and donor behavior in relation to activities, such as linkage to health care resources and behavioral risk reduction through monitoring and counseling after donor notification. The third objective seeks to find ways to improve the disclosure of HIV risks during donor eligibility assessment at the time of blood donation. We will enroll a cohort of HIV-positive donors to assess these three objectives. Our findings will yield insights into improved methods for donor self-selection and qualification post donation, which will serve to decrease the frequency of higher-risk persons acting as donors. Our findings on improved methods for Brazilian donor notification and linkage to health care services may also be applicable to developed countries, including the US. Results of the Brazil Notification Study will identify how to improve notification and counseling strategies that increase the number of HIV-positive donors seeking prompt medical care. This might ultimately boost strategies to prevent secondary HIV transmission and reduce the risk of transfusion-transmission.
