During three months of screening military blood donors this summer, the Pentagon discovered 44 people who had been exposed to the virus suspected of causing AIDS, according to a confidential internal report. The cases amount to less than 0.1% of the 62,000 screened. The 44 cases were discovered among 500 individuals who initially tested positive, the report said. The remaining 456 individuals were given a clean bill of health but only after additional, expensive medical exams.
