Brits given US Aids blood
This story has more entanglements than are reported here. There are alleged linkages between a former governor of Arkansas, the chairman of a political party from that state, and the president of a firm that supplied blood to the world market...
From Emma Morton, the Sun Online's health reporter:
"Official figures show at least 3,000 Britons were infected with HIV or Hepatitis C from US blood in the 1970s and 80s."
"Of these 1,250 had HIV. And just 384 are still alive."
