Objective: To estimate the median survival and the effect of antiretroviral therapy (ART) among HIV-positive former blood donors of Fuyang in Anhui province, China.
Methods: A retrospective survey was conducted among HIV-positive former blood donors, and data was collected on survivors who had received ART. Weibull function was used to calculate median survival of HIV-positive former blood donors.

Article Synopsis
- Recent studies suggest that co-infection with GB virus C (GBV-C) might slow down AIDS progression in HIV-1 patients, but other research has not confirmed this.
- Researchers conducted a study on 203 HIV-1 positive former blood donors in China, finding that 25.6% were co-infected with GBV-C.
- The study concluded that there was no significant link between GBV-C infection and CD4+ T cell counts or HIV viral loads, suggesting that GBV-C does not notably affect AIDS progression in late-stage chronic HIV-1 infection.
Background: Unregulated commercial blood/plasma collection among farmers occurred between 1992 and 1995 in central China and caused the second major epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in China. It is important to characterize HIV-1-infected former blood donors and to study characteristics associated with disease progression for future clinical intervention and vaccine development.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on HIV-1-infected former blood donors (FBDs) and age-matched HIV-seronegative local residents.
