Ridding donated blood of HIV is the best care

A FIVE-YEAR-OLD GIRL was infected with AIDS after she underwent a blood transfusion in Fuzhou, Fujian province. The local authorities said one of the blood donors might have donated blood during the "window period", in which a person freshly infected does not test positive. Comments:

Even if the window period explanation applies, the victim needs humanitarian care. The fact is the health authorities investigated the case for several months without reaching a conclusion, and prevented her family from speaking during the news conference; the bureaucrats even told her to stay away. It is the arrogance of power that has caused such widespread anger against the authorities. Please, bureaucrats, learn how to speak with people.
