Therapeutic use
FVIII concentrated from donated blood plasma (Aafact), or alternatively recombinant FVIII can be given to hemophiliacs to restore hemostasis.
The transfer of a plasma byproduct into the blood stream of a patient with hemophilia often led to the transmission of diseases such as hepatitis B and C and HIV before purification methods were improved. Antibody formation to Factor VIII can also be a major concern for patients receiving therapy against bleeding; the incidence of these inhibitors is dependent of various factors, including the Factor VIII product itself.[8]
In the 1980s, some pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer sparked controversy by continuing to sell contaminated factor VIII after new heat-treated versions were available.[9] In the early 1990s, pharmaceutical companies began to produce recombinant synthesized factor products, which now prevent nearly all forms of disease transmission during replacement therapy.

To the op : You should put in big bold letters in the first post that it was spread through blood and not a pill because these people can't take the time to actually read.

It's so ridiculous I just laugh when I see post after post about it being passed through a pill. ATS: where ignorance is spread regularly.

Quite the reversal.
So can you tell us what you think of the many articles posted in this thread on the very real life consequences of this disaster? It is not even really being disputed, just financially stunted in repayment. I would be interested to at least hear your response to these articles. Are they all lies? [/quote
Do you think they are all truths? Come on. You are far more intelligent than this rag of a thread. I've read your other posts and you are beyond this dishevelment. The reason I befriended you was because of your intellect. Don't disappoint me, your better than this.

That's a pretty nervy statement coming from someone who has been adamant that the op's post is a hoax when there is quite a lot of documented proof that it is not.
Copperflower, carry on, my friend.

I appreciate those kind words. Please take this in that spirit then. If it is wrong for me to believe these articles, then I am apparently quite ignorant. I would appreciate it if you would fill me in. Do you think Ryan White was really murdered and it was covered up with this same type of hoax? Can you tell me what is not accurate about the articles posted? I am genuinely asking you to help me realize how faulty this all is as you say.

Ryan White is GD saint! You are going woefully in the wrong direction if you believe this thread. Give me a break. Ryan White was not murdered anymore than the milliions that have died of AIDS.
OK, I will give you this conspiracy....If HIV was a man made virus, then many of us have been murdered. Find the answer and bring back my partner that died in great pain in my own home. BTW, he was a plasma scientist on the cutting edge of nuclear technology. The gov't spent millons on him and his clearances.
Same for me .

K J,
We have all loved and lost. It's the way of the human.
Do you really want to belive in the inane contributions of conspiracy theories towards Aids?
I like a good conspiracy theory now and then, but this is the end all for me.
Believe what you want. Don't hurt others by your belief systems. Others have actually lived and died through this. I am a material witness. Are you?

I would just like to add, how many times have you cried yourself to sleep after losing a loved one to AIDS. It's been sixteen difficult years for me. How about you?
