Why do people with hemophilia run the risk of having hepatitis?
Not all people with Hemophilia have AIDS or HIV. Due to very lax screening in blood/plasma collection centers and inadequate screening and purification on the manufacturing ends during the 1980s many hemophiliacs were infected with HIV by the medications used to treat hemophilia. Roughly 50% of the hemophilia population (or 10,000 individuals) in the United States were infected during the 1980s in this manner. Today, the number of people with hemophilia in the united states is estimated to be roughly 20,000. Approximately 2500 of the original 10,000 infected hemophilia patients are still alive. Looking at the numbers today, this means that only 12.5% of the hemophilia population has HIV and/or AIDS.
