Psoriasis and donating blood

[Fred]

E.g., maybe it is kept out the the news, but it might be very well true that in the past HIV has been transferred by blood transfusions.

I know this is true for a fact. RE: Psoriasis and donating blood

Without going into to much detail. Someone close to our family needed a blood transfusion at a young age after an accident and it did save his life. But it also gave him HIV (AIDS) and he died of the AIDS virus about 10 years later. It was very sad as it was around the time that people had a fear of Gay's.

He was not Gay by the way and all because of an accident his last few years of life as a young man was not nice, not only for the AIDS but also because people at the time thought only Gay Men got AIDS. We now know this is not true, but it is true that it can be passed on via blood donations and you are probably right it was kept out of the news.
