That’s nice, but I have a friend whose child is a hemophiliac. Who now has HIV.

The child is 8. Are you honestly saying that the child has been promiscuous?

Some conservatives throw ‘pro-life’ out the window once the word sex is mentioned.

Of course, the child is not promiscuous. How did the child become HIV+? Is the blood supply contaminated?

No. Absolutely not.

It is supposed to be very rare (if not impossible) for anyone here in the States to get it through a blood transfusion. Sounds like this is not true?

And that would make the people who contaiminate the blood supply murders. Unfortunately, they'd probably succumb before you could try them.

There has not been a recorded case of an hemophiliac in the USA becoming infected with HIV by blood transfusion since 1986.

In fact, since 1999, new technology has allowed clotting factors to be genetically engineered without the use of blood donations, so this is a non-issue.
