    “Ricky Ray died of an AIDS-related illness in 1992, at age 15. In 1998, Congress passed the Ricky Ray Relief Act, establishing a fund to help cover expenses for hemophiliacs who contracted HIV/AIDS. Robert Ray died in 2000 at age 22.”

    When I was 15 I was in the hospital. There was a boy in there who had HIV from a transfusion. He passed the day my doctor gave me a day pass away from the hospital. When I came back his bed and belongings were cleared out. I cried so much that day. I wish I knew his name. I prayed so much for him. I thought he was getting better because one night the nurses took him for a walk around and I was there for 3 months but that was the only time he walked. I was praising God and thanking him but then 2 days later he was gone. It's not fair.
    RIP

    Two of their boys died, one lived (All three hemophiliacs who caught HIV/AIDS from their blood transfusions). The one who survived is married with children now, he lived long enough for some better drugs to come along. He'll always have HIV, but the drugs hopefully will keep it from from turning into full blown AIDS.

    Poor kid. I remember this time when there were so many people suffering with HIV/AIDS. I remember back then being told you were HIV positive was like getting a death sentence. Over the last 30 years though, medicines and treatments for HIV have greatly improved. A vaccine is still in the works and there is still no known cure but we are a lot closer now than we were at the time of this newscast.

      I just found out Randy Ray died a few months ago. His parents said his health began to rapidly deteriorate in the months leading up to his death back in May. But, they didn't expect him to die so quickly. Randy may have died from another illness besides HIV. Nowadays, people with HIV are able to live longer, healthier lives due to modern medicine. However, just having HIV may put you at a higher risk of other illnesses including cancer. The only difference is that you're less likely to develop and die from full blown AIDS.

      Okay three brothers with Hemophilia required regular infusions of Factor 8. Blood donations weren't screened and almost guaranteed that those using the products would become infected with Hepatitis and later HIV. Not only weren't the donations screened but paid plasma programs in prison systems made it even more likely. The CDC wanted blood bankers and pharmaceutical companies to use a Hepatitis B test as a surrogate for the virus that causes AIDS. They refused. Blood shield laws largely protected them from criminal and civil lawsuits. After screening was in place and the product was heat treated the pharmaceutical companies chose to sell their entire supply before making the safer option available.
      The Ray Brothers were successful in using the administrative appeals process of the 1971 Rehabilitation Act to return to school despite the wishes of the local school board and parents. So when they returned to school the neighbours set their home on fire.

      @jonathan because there is no such thing as a *perfect* system of screening blood, the US medical establishment estimated that allowing homosexuals to donate blood would “only“ result in one additional AIDs death per year. there are many doctors who believe that this is an irresponsibly optimistic estimate, and the policy is motivated by social justice politics. similarly, the state of California recently decriminalized purposely infecting others with HIV. valuing the lives of innocents over your feelings may be “archaic,” but so is all sensible policy under our woke media oligarchy

      Blood shield laws protected blood banks and pharmaceutical companies from many of the lawsuits that were brought forward. Blood was considered inherently dangerous.

Which helped because many had gone broke trying to care for their children as they died.

The Rays seem like such a nice loving family who believe in equality and justice for everyone. However, I noticed from the 80s footage that the father had a few different Confederate Flag baseball caps and would wear them in public within being criticized. He also seems like a very kind man who would never have any of those hateful thoughts against certain groups of people. Did the Confederate Flag have a different meaning back in the 80s, or was it just as controversial as it is today? If anyone who grew up in or lived in the south in the 80s can tell me about it, please reply to my comment when you get a chance.

      Hemophiliacs from this time didn't really get whole blood or plasma transfusions. They received infusions of Factor 8. The distinction matters. Blood and plasma donations have screened donors and tested for the virus long before the dates that you have provided. Screening and heat treating Factor 8 largely solved the problem back when the Ray Brothers had already been infected.

      It wasn't a blood transfusion but infusions of Factor 8. It is a protein found in plasma. Pooled plasma from risky donors greatly increased the chances of Hemophiliacs becoming infected with HIV and Hepatitis. One Factor 8 treatment comes from the blood/plasma donations of thousands of donors. Hemophiliacs often treated twice a week. More if they had an injury or a "bleed". The CDC tried to get blood/plasma banks and pharmaceutical companies to begin screening and treating the plasma used for Factor 8 sooner and they refused. Too much money. They kept selling the infected product after the other options were available.
