Is HIV/AIDS from a blood transfusion a form of medical negligence?

Receiving HIV/AIDS through a blood transfusion due to medical negligence is an extremely serious issue with devastating consequences. PK Simpson is experienced in handling sensitive medical negligence claims and can fight for your rights.

Looking back, it is incredible how the attitudes and perceptions towards HIV have changed over time. No longer are people stigmatised for their disease and instead, are offered a helping hand.

Unfortunately, there are still cases where HIV/AIDS is contracted through medical negligence, particularly through contaminated blood transfusions. When this occurs, it represents a serious breach of medical standards and duty of care.

Medical Negligence and Blood Transfusions

Medical professionals have a duty to ensure that all blood products are properly screened and safe for transfusion. When proper protocols are not followed, patients can be exposed to life-changing infections including HIV/AIDS.

If you or a loved one has contracted HIV/AIDS through a blood transfusion or other medical procedure, you may have grounds for a medical negligence claim. These cases require expert legal representation due to their complex nature and the devastating impact on victims and their families.
