Blood on your hands, this is the new documentary on people with hemophilia contaminated by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) through treatment with factor VIII, and who died from it. We knowingly let the batches flow into all kinds of patients with all kinds of diseases
specifies the director of this research work, Jean-François Poisson.
Why weren’t these treatments discarded in the 1980s? He explains that greed is one of the reasons mentioned in the Krever Commission report.
Contained in a small vial, factor VIII is a powder concentrate from 700 blood donations, which can greatly facilitate the lives of hemophiliacs.
In his documentary, Jean-François Poisson talks with survivors who received triple therapy in time.
« There are very few survivors. »
