How many people with hemophilia or other bleeding disorders in the United States are HIV-positive?
Among individuals with hemophilia or other bleeding disorders, 8,540 are known to have received potentially contaminated blood products between 1978 and 1985. Not all of these people became HIV-positive as a result (seroconverted). It is difficult to say with any certainty how many people with bleeding disorders became HIV-positive through use of clotting factor, but it is possible that as many as 8,000 individuals seroconverted.
