Our Story

Visit our website: https://www.factor8scandal.uk/ The Factor 8 Scandal, or, Contaminated Blood Scandal is the event of 3,891 (confirmed) people in the UK (mostly Haemophiliacs) being infected with Hepatitis C or Hepatitis C & HIV (co-infected) by a commercial Medicine known as "Factor VIII" or "Factor IX" which was produced by a variety of pharmaceutical companies. Of the 3,891 people infected with Hepatitis C, 1,243 of them were additionally infected with HIV (the virus that leads to AIDS), "co-infected" by both viruses. Almost 80% of the 1,243 "co-infected" (HIV & Hep C) victims have died, most by the mid-nineties. Of the 2,648 known to have been infected with Hepatitis C (and not HIV), 665 are known to have subsequently died. The fight for Truth & Justice continues.
