Description

Margaret Shiels reports on the findings of an independent research organisation, The Panos Institute, which claims that worldwide figures on AIDS are a lesson for people in Britain who have claimed that the general population is not at risk. Panos say their study, compiled by Marty Radlett, is proof that everybody is vunerable. Includes interview with Judith Mariasy, PANOS. The report also includes an interview with David Watters, General Secretary of the UK Haemophilia Society, about Government compensation for haemophiliacs who have contracted the virus via blood tranfusions.
