Blood banks and hospitals did not test blood for HIV and AIDs before a test was invented in 1985. Now, all blood for transfusions and other purposes are tested before being collected. Prior to 1985 it was not possible to test blood donors or donated blood for HIV. In that year Robert Gallo of the NIH developed a kit which allowed the testing. Later the Louis Pasteur Institute sued and got half the rights to the invention.
