  • Victims of what's been described as the worst scandal in NHS history are finally due to get some answers.
    (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
    On Monday, the inquiry into what happened to some 30,000 people given blood products contaminated with HIV or Hepatitis C - during the 70s and 80s - is due to deliver its final report.
    But one victim dies every four days, so many have not lived long enough to see it. And those who have will still have to wait even longer for compensation, which could run into billions.

      Hi. Yes it's criminal and it's been allowed to continue..
      Three of my male friends died with this disease. And I believe it can be got rid off. No one should die from it or of it. Dr Bryan Ardis on Watch The Water has some knowledge. As has many of his associates.

    One of my friends was a haemophiliac baby in about 1984, and he was given blood transfusions from America that the British government have admitted that they KNEW was likely to be infected with HIV, but they big fat did it anyway, because the blood was cheap. My friend has suffered with ill health all his life, it has stunted his growth. It limits what work he can do, and the hours he can work. It's made relationships difficult, as he always has to be upfront with any potential partner. He's unable to have children. The stigma of being HIV positive is still very real.

      We are seeing unusual activity, mainly clots, in blood samples and it’s not just Covid. This also needs to addressed that we make sure blood is checked and cleaned before use. The Canadian Covid inquiry has a heart breaking case testimonial about this. It is being looked at, but like with everything they will deny until it’s too obvious and then they will make excuses.

      Kathy yes. 1979 1980 and so on. It was the early 1980's three of my friends died with AIDS. One was a beautiful male model, one a handsome doorman and one a hermaphrodite... It was painful to see them suffering. And even more to know they were so young and not ready to leave but given no choice. The fear in their eyes and expressions broke my heart. Precious Memories of them stay with me.
      I hope anyone having health troubles get in touch with Dr Bryan Ardis on You Tube or Vimeo and his associated and friends.

    I will never if my Father died from Contaminated Blood. In 1970 my Father started blood transfusions every month after being diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia. He started them in September1970 until he died from Pneumonia in June 1971. I will never know if he died from Contaminated blood he had 10 transfusions. I had to have a blood tra nfusion in August 1970 before I had my third child. Should I have the test? I had Bowel Cancer in 2021 I am now in my 3rd year off recovery.

    My father in law was a hemophiliac. He died in 1995 of aids. We didn't know until after his funeral. My eldest son (Peter) was only a few months old, his grandad asked if he could spend some time with him. I would love to know what he said to him. Also when he found out he had to sell his fish n chip shops. But he still worked. When he was younger he was a bouncer ( door man). His grandson has hemophilia as well, He is just like him it will never stop him from enjoying life. I have 4 sons and a daughter. Also my second son is a hemophiliac as well , he is a engineer. My 2 youngest sons don't have hemophilia. I am proud that they have 25% of his dna, also my eldest is the father of my grandson. He would be so proud of all of them. RIP Peter.
