AB From 1980-85 approximately 240 people with coagulation disorders were
infected with HIV through treatment with blood products. This paper
outlines the progression and psychosocial impact on the 60 patients
currently treated at the Alfred Hospital for medically acquired HIV.
There are particular psychosocial issues related to the genetic nature
of the coagulation disorders and the treatment arrangements. Together
these factors mean that the impact of multiple loss on a small,
vulnerable community has been devastating. Patients were infected whilst
being treated from trusted centres for an incurable, life threatening
disorder. Many focused their anger on litigation action. Other
particular losses spring from the relatively younger age at infection.
Co-infection issues impact on treatments used.
