Each blood service system shall have a test to detect the presence of antibodies to the human T-lymphotropic virus type III. Such test shall be performed on each donation of blood prior to the use, disposal, distribution, or exchange of such blood. If antibodies to the human T-lymphotropic virus type III are found to be present in such blood donation, the blood shall not be used for any blood transfusion. The donor of any blood donation containing antibodies to the human T-lymphotropic virus type III shall be notified of such results upon completion of specific confirmatory testing by the blood service system that took the donation. The notification shall be made in a manner consistent with donor confidentiality.
