Around the world organizations that seek blood donations usually have a policy to discourage men who have sex with men (MSM) from donating blood. This is due to the risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in the blood.

This is reliant, of course, on those men reporting they have sex with men before donation to have themselves excluded.

On Wikipedia I have found that an estimated 14% of MSM are infected with HIV but I haven't found information about how good the testing processes for donated blood happens to be to detect infected blood.

As pointed out in the comments, there are other sources of HIV infected blood. And, what about those who don't know they are infected?

Given current testing standards for donated blood, what are the chances of anysuch a blood donation infecting the receiving person with the HIV?

Substituted "HIV" for "AIDS" since AIDS is term that describes the disease "Acquired Immunodeficiency DIsease" whereas the question is about the HIV virus.
