Conclusion: The overall prevalence of TTIs among blood donors in Makkah was low, affirming the effectiveness of current screening protocols. However, the relatively high prevalence of hepatitis B core antibodies indicates prior exposure among a notable proportion of donors. Yearly fluctuations in seropositivity suggest evolving epidemiological patterns, warranting continuous surveillance and targeted public health interventions.
