I am just wondering -- is blood transfusions still risky? Check out this link here.

I had a blood transfusion in December 1969 during my heart surgery at 1 month old. I was told years later after attending an AIDS/HIV/blood transfusions class at where I used to work (a health clinic), that I am ok when I asked a relative about mine.
Now, I am not sure.....do they check the blood for blood transfusion before 1975? What about after that year?
Did you ever get a blood transfusion for yourself? What was the reason for the transfusion (if you don't want to say, you don't have to. :) )?
