Britain’s infected blood scandal, my quest for the truth
Jason Evans was four when his dad, who had haemophilia, died after contracting HIV from contaminated blood. For most of his life Jason’s been searching for answers, and justice.
In the early 1980s Jason Evans' father was given a blood product called Factor 8 to treat his haemophilia, which infected him with HIV. He was one of thousands of people in the UK who were unwittingly infected with blood-borne viruses from blood products and infusions, despite the dangers being already known. Jason's father died when he was just four, and he spent most of his life campaigning for the truth about what happened.
