  • Title: Factor VIII, HIV and AIDS in haemophiliacs: an analysis of their relationship.
    Author: Papadopulos-Eleopulos E, Turner VF, Papadimitriou JM, Causer D.
    Journal: Genetica; 1995; 95(1-3):25-50. PubMed ID: 7538088.
    Abstract:
    In this review, the association between the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and haemophilia has been carefully examined, especially the data that have been interpreted as indicating transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to the recipients of purportedly contaminated factor VIII preparations. In our view, the published data do not prove the hypothesis that such transmission occurs, and therefore HIV cannot account for AIDS in haemophiliacs.
