Infected blood scandal: Nailsea boy ‘shunned’ for having HIV

Lee died on 22 January 1992, aged just 10.

More than 30 years later, Denise and Colin are hoping the infected blood inquiry will bring closure.

“We have been lied to for over 40 years, we just want justice for Lee,” she said.

“He needs to be recognised, and for that to happen we need the truth in black and white.

“As well as losing our son, we have lost our own lives, we were made to be people we didn’t want to be, liars, who had no choice but to hide from the world.”

A government spokesperson said: “This was an appalling tragedy, and our thoughts remain with all those impacted.

The spokesperson said they have consistently accepted the moral case for compensation.

“We will continue to listen carefully to those infected and affected about how we address this dreadful scandal,” they added.
