Abstract. Two batches of heat‐treated factor VIII concentrate were found to contain anti‐HIV‐positive plasma donations. The batches were dry‐heat‐treated at 68 °C for 2 and 24 h, respectively. No HIV seroconversions occurred in 13 susceptible haemophiliacs receiving a total of 540 bottles of these factor VIII preparations.
