I Lost Mum, Dad, and Sister to HIV in Blood Scandal

It all started with a routine blood transfusion for my sister. Little did we know that this simple procedure would be the beginning of our family’s nightmare.

Weeks after the transfusion, my sister started showing symptoms of illness. We took her to several doctors, but no one could pinpoint the cause of her deteriorating health.

It wasn’t until months later that we discovered the truth – the blood she received was contaminated with HIV. And the horror didn’t end there.

My parents, who had also received blood transfusions in the past, tested positive for the virus. Our entire family was devastated.

We tried to fight the injustice, but the damage had been done. We lost my sister first, then my dad, and finally, my mum succumbed to the disease.

The pain and grief of losing my entire family to HIV will always haunt me. The blood scandal robbed us of our loved ones and shattered our world.

But through it all, I have found strength and resilience. I share our story to raise awareness about the importance of safe blood transfusions and to honor the memory of my dear family.

May their souls rest in peace, and may their story serve as a cautionary tale for others.
