Associated Press
NEW YORK — The American
Red Cross has found evidence of
AIDS contamination in two to three
of every 1,000 blood samples tested,
but officials say they will perform
more tests on the blood before they
inform the donors.
In addition to confirming the ini
tial results, the Red Gross said it
wants to study more closely what the
test results mean.
The additional tests will delay no
tification, until June at least, of do
nors whose blood is confirmed as
having been exposed to the AIDS vi
rus.
The Red Cross, which provides
about half the nation’s blood supply,
began screening blood last month to
keep the suspected AIDS virus from
spreading through transfusions.
Federal authorities blame transfu
sions for 143 of the nation’s 9,760
cases of AIDS.
People at high risk for AIDS, in
cluding homosexuals and intrave
nous drug abusers, have been urged
to avoid giving blood. “(This is) the
number one factor that will protect
the nation’s blood supply," said Dr.
S. Gerald Sandler, associate vice
president for medical operations of
the Red Cross. The blood screening
is a backup precaution, he said.
“(Transfusion) recipients need
protection by eliminating every unit
of blood that might lx* infected. Do
nors need protection by not being
implicated by a blood center in the
AIDS epidemic on the basis of a ...
lab test that isn’t confirmed,” he said.
The test is designed only to find
the chemical antibodies created by
the immune system in response to
the AIDS virus. But the test is imper
fect and can’t be completely con
firmed, Sandler said. So, although
even a marginal positive reading will
disuualify the blood for transfusion,
it does not mean the donor has
AIDS, or will get it.
The themes include civil r
women’s liberation, ihe
m c> v e m e n t, male/ft*
relationships and the
movement, Anderson says,
Donors whose blood can he con
firmed positive will lie notified to
keep them from spreading the virus,
Sandler said, but the Red (Toss will
hold back on donors it’s unsure
about until better tests are available
to resolve the uncertainty.

Researchers are trying to learn
the correlation between the strength
of a positive reading on the screen
ing test and the likelihood that the
blood actually carries the virus. That
effort will help the Red Cross set the
tone of its notifications to donors.

Men caught taking exotic animals to
Associated Press
HOUSTON —Two men were be
ing detained Monday for allegedly
trying to take 14 exotic animals into
Mexico from Arizona, a LLS. Cus
toms Service spokesman said.
The animals included two drome
dary camels, six springboks, five wal
labies and a zebra, Charles Conroy,
Customs Service spokesman in
Houston said.
The two men taken into custody
were identified as Manuel Garcia
Pueblo and Jesus Garcia, both from
Sonora, a state in Mexico.
A customs inspector on his way to
work Friday in Nogales, Ariz.,
spotted the two-truck caravan and
said his interest was aroused because
the head of the camel was sticking
out of the truck. Ironically, the in
spector is responsible for stopping il
legal exports.
After the trucks, bearing Mexico
license plates, passed the turnoff
leading to customs inspections,
agents nailed the vehicles to question
the drivers, Conroy said.
“When asked about export docu
ments and health documents, they
gave a real fine story," he said.
“They said the man that usually
brings animals from Arkansas was in
Los Angeles with a broken neck and
that his replacement ran off with
medical papers after a wallaby es-
t aped during reloadinginTusi
