What are the testing standards set forth by the American Association of Tissue Banks relating to rabies? Any blood test at this stage should make it evident the tissue is useless, right?
I don't do transplants and don't have a clue.
The article states, "Federal officials are expected to review the findings to determine whether to add rabies to the routine tests for all organ donors. Donors are now tested for H.I.V., hepatitis B and C, HTLV-1, cytomegalovirus and syphilis."
HTLV-1 is HIV.
