At one time this was the case. However, once testing of blood products began in the mid 1980s, the chances of someone being infected with HIV via blood transfusions is virtually non-existant.

Hemophiliacs suffer from a disorder of the blood where blood does not clot properly, if at all. This means that they are more prone to bleeding and require regular treatments involving the use of blood.

Before HIV was well understood and before tests were developed, people were receiving blood products that may have been contaminated with the virus, but it was not detected. This is no longer the case
