ABSTRACT
In a screening of 182 vials of various commercially available blood products in the Indian market, 32 (17%) were found to contain HIV-1 antibodies. The contamination with HIV-1 antibodies was detected in all types of blood products including immunoglobulin preparations, cryoprecipitates as well as albumin.

A single vial of imported Factor VIII concentrate tested negative.
