Peru blood banks face HIV crisis
Judith Rivera's public plea alerted officials to the crisis
Dozens of blood banks in Peru have been closed after at least four people
were infected with the HIV virus through contaminated transfusions.
The government said all 240 of the country's facilities would be thoroughly
screened, amid what is being described as a national emergency.
The patients were all infected at a hospital in the port city of Callao.
Officials insisted Peru's blood banks met international standards and urged
people to continue giving blood.
"We do not want people to panic, what we have to do is be more careful,
strengthen our care [of patients]," said Health Minister Carlos Vallejos.
Public alarm
The crisis was prompted after 44-year-old Judith Rivera contacted the media
earlier this week to say she had been infected with HIV during a routine
operation.
Mrs Rivera, a mother of four, said she was taking legal action to claim
compensation.
"What is done is done, as they say, and a life has no price tag," she said
during a news conference.
Health officials later revealed that three other patients had been infected
with the virus after having blood transfusions at the same hospital - one
of them a child aged 11 months.
The Washington-based Pan American Health Organization says its latest
figures show that up to a quarter of the blood in Peru's banks is not
properly screened.
In a further blow to the health system, officials also confirmed that 30
patients who attended a dialysis treatment centre had been infected with
Hepatitis C.
The BBC's Dan Collyns, in Lima, says Peruvians are alarmed and are avoiding
public hospitals.
He says the government's response to the crisis is unlikely to restore
public confidence in the country's flagging health service.

Sound the alarm ! Now with so many people having internet access,
it's only a matter of time before most realize what a huge and deadly
scam "HIV/AIDS" is. We might actually have to work for a living if
they find out before we retire ! So sound the alarm - the best
defensive is a good offensive. Keep them in fear, so that they don't
do any critical thinking. We might just be able to keep this nonsense
going another decade or so.

Quite right!
Still, rather many still believe the nasty media propaganda.
It will not be all that easy to stamp that fraud out completely.
