All samples with valid initial NAT results are included in Table 2, including the single sample that failed to yield a valid alternate NAT result. While donors having no demographic data available were excluded from the study, some donors included in the study had some missing demographic data

*The degree of missing data on Hispanic ethnicity is so great that no inference about the representation of Hispanic donors in the study should be made
