ITN Archive - 1985 - Haemophiliac School Scare

ITN Archive - 18th September 1985 - 3 video clips

Dozens of pupils are prevented from attending a primary school in Hampshire, after it was found out that 3 year old Haemophiliac boy was HIV positive..

Hampshire education chiefs have admitted that a second child in their area has AIDS antibodies. The child, a three year old Haemophiliac, has been taken away from his nursery school. Meanwhile, more children have returned to Scantabout Primary School in Chandlers Ford, where a nine year old haemophiliac has developed AIDS antibodies, after receiving contaminated blood products. Some parents had been keeping their children at home, but yesterday were reassured by an expert on AIDS that there is no evidence the disease can be casually transmitted.
