The one that prevents transmission? I don't know if it'd be enough to prevent transmission via transfusion, given that transfusion is close to a 100% transmission rate (92.5%, to be exact, compared to 13.8% for receptive buttsex, which is the next-highest), but they might if the side effects don't outweigh the risk. As it stands, the likelihood of getting HIV from a blood transfusion is very, very low, since they're pretty rigorous in their screening. To that end, I have my doubts that prophylactic measures would be worthwhile, especially as the disease gets closer to becoming curable or being eradicated. If the incidence of HIV increases, though, they might.
