How come if people with AIDS don't donate blood people who use donated blood sometimes get AIDS?

All blood donations are screened well before use, but even with the tests used there is still a slight (one in tens of millions) chance that an infected lot will get through. There is also the risk of getting HIV/AIDS from the transfusion and not the blood itself; recipients are just as likely to get the disease from other sources as the whole procedure.
