"In a speech in Abuja, Nigeria on August 27th, President Clinton came very close to identifying a taboo subject - the medical transmission of HIV. Mr. Clinton noted that both AIDS and malaria are increasing in Nigeria, but his staff failed to advise him on how the two killers are connected: Malaria causes life-threatening anemia often requiring transfusions. Contaminated blood transfusions are the most efficient means of HIV transmission."
Stephen F. Minkin is a Coordinator for the Network for Infection Prevention (NIP). NIP is an Internet based coalition concerned with reducing the spread of HIV and other diseases from transfusions, injections and invasive medical procedures. NIP believes that access to safe health care is a human right requiring investments and training in medical hygiene. Steve is currently writing a book entitled The Missing History of AIDS. He lives in Brattleboro, Vermont.
