If you have to pick one of them , it would be more likely that you should pick the patient B.
In the case of HIV, all the viruses replication occurs in the Lymphoid tissue. If the person who just got it from blood transfusion experiencing a blood loss then injected again with new blood, it will expose him/her to various complications

Hope this helps
