Leonard Valentino on Hemophilia Care: Dr Keith Hoots Reflects on the History of HIV and AIDS
Leonard Valentino, Former President and CEO of NBDF, President of WFH USA, shared on LinkedIn:
”Dr Keith Hoots reflects on the history of HIV and AIDS at the Partners Physician Academy to help us all never forget this integral history that continues to shape the care of people with hemophilia.”
In the late 1970s–1980s, many people with hemophilia were infected with HIV through contaminated clotting factor concentrates made from pooled plasma.
This led to a devastating wave of HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths among the hemophilia community.
