Linda Wertheimer speaks with Dr. Richard Davey, chief medical officer of the American Red Cross, about the safety of the U.S. blood supply. Dr. Davey explains that the blood supply is extremely safe and that a new test which will detect the presence of HIV instead of the HIV antibody, will make the blood supply even safer.
