Talk:Contaminated haemophilia blood products

Title
While I've spent a good deal of time on this article, I hope somebody could come up with a better title than "Contaminated haemophilia blood products." -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:12, 20 September 2006 (UTC) {removed potentially WP:BLP commentary from User:Gabeh73} -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I saw this at WP:GAN and had a look. Could you please explain why this article limits itself to HIV and to clotting factors? For example:
 * Arthur Ashe died of AIDS after receiving contaminated blood during heart surgery, which suggests contaminated blood is a threat to non-hemophiliacs.
 * When I Googled for "death contaminated blood" the first hit was transmission of hepatitis B. -- Philcha (talk) 21:04, 20 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The sources I found focused on HIV problems. I suspect that other diseases were quite common (the Canada and Italian sections both mention Hepatitis C).  There are always reasons for problem blood samples to occur.  These were all linked to the same period and the same issue, from its source onward.  These were all found in Factor VIII and Factor IX, clotting agents that haemophiliacs specifically use, and not the blood used for transplants, and during a time when they specifically could have used heat versions to prevent the spread of disease.  I didn't want this article to just become a "examples of blood contamination article" and think that more articles would be perfect for that.  -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:58, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

 * 1982-1986 USA blood supply crisis or 1980s Blood Supply Crisis. I don't know, this is a difficult one for sure. It sounds a bit broad but if this was the only blood supply issue in the early 1980s, perhaps a specific reference to contamination isn't necessary. Conversely, substitute contamination for crisis and this might be more suitable if there were other, non-contamination issues with the blood supply. I agree with Philcha in that while this crisis affected hemophiliacs, it wasn't limited to this population.JaskaPDX (talk) 04:44, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
