 AB    Of 300 patients admitted to an alcohol rehabilitation unit, serological
       testing of discarded admission blood samples revealed that 31 (10.3%)
       had HIV infection. Chart records indicated that four patients were known
       to be HIV infected on admission, and HIV infection was detected in
       another three patients during hospitalization; however, 24 (77.4%) of
       the HIV-positive patients were discharged with their HIV infection still
       undetected.
