The data generated will help the clinicians for judicious use of blood as well as awareness regarding the Transfusion transmitted infections. Research Design Methods: A total of 46,224 blood donors were screened during a period from April 2008 to October 2012, at blood bank, S.R.G. Hospital and Medical College Jhalawar - District, Rajasthan State. Results: Among these 22905 (49.55%) were voluntary donors and 25219 (54.58%) were replacement donors .Seropositivity for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) was 0.034%, Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) was 1.57%, Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) was 0.04%, Rapid plasma Reagin method (RPR) for syphilis was 0.019% and Malaria was 0.017% respectively. Conclusions: Infections are slightly more common among replacement donors compared to voluntary donors. There was a gradual decrease of Transfusion Transmitted Infections (TTIs) in blood donors over the years by reason of following of stringent blood donor selection criteria.&#13;
