When they were babies she was told they would not make it to adulthood. They were thriving children with a zest for life and never sick. She gave them klotting factor, of course. &amp;nbsp;However, in the early part of 1984, one week after giving them klotting factor from a recently opened box, she was &amp;quot;notified&amp;quot; by mail that she needed to return any opened and unopened klotting factor back to Wadley Blood Bank due to &amp;quot;possible&amp;quot; contamination and she would receive full replacements of opened and unopened bottles, at no charge to her. &amp;nbsp;When her youngest son suffered a fracture to the arm, a couple of years later, they discovered he was infected with HIV. &amp;nbsp;The other son was tested and he was also positive. There was a class action lawsuit that was paid to all persons involved in that &amp;quot;possibly contaminated&amp;quot; in the amount of about $110,000. each. &amp;nbsp;They were 31 and 33 the year after the settlement. &amp;nbsp;The youngest died that same year and the oldest died one year later , both of HIV related complications--not hemophilia, not AIDS. HIV attacks the immune system. &amp;nbsp;The settlement didn't even begin to cover their hospital costs. &amp;nbsp;How much money did Bayer make in the years prior? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Carlotta, it is my understanding you must get the HIV virus before getting AIDS, thus often called the AIDS virus.&lt;/p&gt;

On the one hand, you have articles on this site stating, and I believe rightly so, that HIV does not cause AIDS. But, here you claim that Bayer sold drugs with the &amp;quot;AIDS virus&amp;quot; (HIV), thus causing harm. Do you just report this stuff without understanding it? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then there's the comment about hemophiliacs, &amp;quot;Although worldwide numbers are difficult to calculate, in Hong Kong and Taiwan alone, more than 100 hemophiliacs contracted HIV after using the medicine, and most have died.&amp;quot; Well, hemophiliacs die everyday. This doesn't say they died of AIDS. They might have died from the AIDS treatment, or just because they had a severe blood disorder. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am not used to such sloppy reporting on this site. You have so much good information -- how did you let this through?&lt;/p&gt;
