The UK's health system wrongfully exposed tens of thousands of patients to HIV and Hepatitis C and engaged in a cover-up, a report found yesterday. The report—the culmination of a six-year independent investigation—fueled victims’ calls for compensation.
From 1970 to 1991, over 30,000 UK patients were exposed to compromised blood samples through plasma treatments for hemophilia or blood transfusions following medical emergencies or childbirth. More than 3,000 people died from the infections, including many of the more than 380 children infected with HIV.

I'm not seeing a demographic breakdown of the recipients of the tainted blood products. I'd very much like to know those stats.

I posted two additional articles but I am not finding the sort of information we would normally see here in the US from the NIH...at least not yet.
