A man who nearly died twice after contracting HIV from infected blood he received as a baby is having to “prove his worth” to get compensation, despite living with the disease for 40 years.
More than 30,000 people in the UK were infected with HIV and hepatitis C after they were given contaminated blood and blood products between the 1970s and early 1990s, and more than 3,000 have died as a result.
