Abstract
In this review, the association between the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and haemophilia has been carefully examined, especial ly the data that have been interpreted as indicating transmission of t he human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to the recipients of purportedly contaminated factor VII preparations. In our view, the published data do not prove the hypothesis that such transmission occurs, and theref ore HIV cannot account for AIDS in haemophiliacs.
