AIDS Scourge in Rural China Leaves Villages of Orphans
U.S. Launches New Initiatives to Help China Combat HIV/AIDS
excerpt from link:
Until recently, blood in parts of China was often collected from many donors and mixed; the pooled plasma was separated from the red blood cells, and then the red blood cells were re-injected back into the donors. If just one paid donor was infected with HIV, a large number of fellow donors would become infected at a single reinfusion session. It has now become widely known that many Chinese villagers, maybe hundreds of thousands, contracted HIV in this way.
This makes me really angry. Human incompetence knows no bounds. People dealing in blood ought to know better.
