I am the mother of a Haemopiliac son and a sister sadley my brother passed away 9yrs ago with HIV and Hepatitus, my son also was given infected blood products, and is has HIV and Hepatitus .to hear you have siged for your child to be used as a chimpanzie is beyond anything it was painfull when we first knew about the viruses but now i feel numb .We have lived through so much no one could ever understand the pain and heart break we have lived through. it was hard to watch your child in pain and to able to have this new factor V111 that would give them a better life to be able to do more , it just gave my son and brother no life,For many years there was talk of all not being so, now perhaps we shall hear the truth, it should never have happened ,as parents we should have been told so we had a choice we would never have allowed this to happen tp our children,brothres,husbands,farthers, all those we love and hold close in our hearts.

Unfortunatly I am one of the many heamophiliacs who was "gifted", hep c via the N.H.S. I am just starting a one year coarse of weekly Interferon injections that will give me a 50/50 chance of a cure. This drug has very unpleasant side effects which are hard to conceal from my family and children. I am lucky, my brother who died 10 years ago of H.I.V. via the same route,is not. I am not bitter, I just want the truth.

Leslie Dowing was a true witty happy man with everthing to live for ,even with Heamophilia, factor 8 was the new product but in Febuary 1989 at the age of 47 , the NHS killed him, they promised him a better way of life and better hope for the future.Why was this blood never screened in America or even in Britain ? or was it . surley they would not have given infected blood ? But they did, utter negligence.
What the hell happened we need to know .
