Objective To form the basis of establishing a strategy for safe blood donor recruitment and to identify and subdivide the structures of donors.Methods Demographic data of blood donors, and blood testing results of HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV, and syphilis, from Nov. 2004 to Jun. 2005, were collected and analyzed.Results Among the 45270 voluntary blood donors, the total positive test rate were 3.11%, which was related to age, level of education and occupation of blood donors. About 76.7% of donors were young people, aged from 18 to 30. As the age increased, female donors were less than male ones. Among all the donors, 81.6% received higher education, which had lower positive test rate than those with lower level of education. Among the 45270 donors, farmers had the highest positive test rate; workers and service people came the second; students and medical staff had the lowest. As to donors with incomplete record, the positive test rate was higher than those with complete record.Conclusion During blood donor recruitment, quality control is important. People younger than 30, with student or higher education background, are relatively safe to recruit.
