    Abstract:
    AIDS developed in a blood donor-recipient pair in Israel. Transmission of HTLV III/LAV probably occurred via a blood transfusion in November 1979. The donor was asymptomatic at the time of blood donation, but initial symptoms of AIDS-related complex developed in the donor 3 months later and in the recipient 6 months following the blood transfusion.
