Bakita Kasadha talks to Martin Beard about how he found he was living with HIV because of infected blood products in the latest of our blog series ‘The Last Chance for Justice’. Click to read.
This is part of a collection of blogs capturing the experiences of those affected by the contaminated blood scandal, which took place in the 1970s and 1980s in the UK
Through these blog posts, we hope to amplify the experiences of a group of people who are less known but are very much part of UK HIV advocacy. In these blog posts, you may read language that is less used within the wider HIV community. In many ways, this illustrates how unique their experiences are and how important it is that they are represented.
