Though some Chinese cities now use advanced testing technologies and equipment to ensure the safety of donated blood, more support from local governments is vital, health experts said.

Ten of every 100,000 blood donors from 1999 to 2003 were diagnosed as carriers of the HIV/AIDS virus. But from 2008 to 2012, 34 of every 100,000 were carriers.
