“Tennis great Arthur Ashe died of HIV/AIDS due to a blood transfusion.”
He had heart surgery and the blood supply was un checked at the time.
I myself had a surgery during the same time frame. Lost three units of blood but the doctor only gave me one—it was his uncertainty of the blood supply my doctor explained.
At virtually the same time a local man had heart surgery in the same hospital, contracted AIDS and died.
I was green looking for three months but did not get AIDS.
RIP those poor souls who died from blood transfusions...
