The Red RibbonHow would you feel when you go to a Hospital for treatment, you are given a blood transfusion. The next thing you know is you are infected with HIV.

Well that?s what happened to 9 year Faizan who tested HIV positive after a blood transfusion at Delhi’s Safdarjung hospital. Seventeen-year-old Jyoti dies of HIV-related illness at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences.

In both these cases, the children were infused with the HIV virus during blood transfusion, when the National Blood Safety Policy clearly states every unit of blood must be tested.

Don?t feel like going to a hospital anymore do you?
