Why is a false positive more significant in HIV testing of patients than in screening donated blood for transfusions?
A. It isn't-both are equally dangerous/significant. False-positives in PEOPLE can lead to psychological trauma, but false-positives in BLOOD could lead to the useful blood being disposed. B. A false-positive in a PERSON is easily retestable. This makes it more significant, because we would simply quickly retest the person to verify their actual HIV status. C. A false-positive in BLOOD is easily retestable. This makes it less significant, because we would simply quickly retest the blood to verify its actual HIV status. D. This statement is backwards-false-positives in blood testing are more significant. If the false-positive rate is high and we don't realize it, we're more likely to dispose useful blood. This could lead to acute shortages of blood for patients who need transfusions.
