How quickly people forget.

Many of you know what happened.

Some of you lived through it.

It might surprise you

how many people out there
aren't aware of it at all.

Some have a vague idea,
but so few know the details.

It's shocking.

It's hard to believe.

It was, even at the time.

Back then,
there was no Internet.

There was no Facebook
or Twitter,

or whatever
the kids are using today.

People didn't have cell phones
to connect them instantly

to the latest news
and information.

As a former journalist,

it was my job
to inform the public.

To warn people
if they were in danger.

To get to the truth.

Quite simply, we failed.

I've read studies that suggest

human beings feel more empathy

for one single victim

than they would for thousands
affected by the same event.

So let me try and put this story

in a more personal context.

I'm doubly responsible.

It was not only my job
as a journalist

to get to the truth...

it was my job as a father.

Excuse me.

- My son is bleeding.
- Ma'am, you have to register.

No, we've been here
three times already!

He needs help now!

These people are ahead of you.

He was circumcised yesterday.

They said the bleeding
would stop in an hour.

You have to register.

: Look!

Come with me.

: I know, it looks
like we're torturing him,

but it's much easier
to get the I.V. into a vein

on his head.

The blood tests show

that his clotting factor
is very low.

Less than 1%.

What does that mean?

Have you heard of hemophilia?

It's an inherited
genetic disease.

The body doesn't
produce clotting factor,

which means serious bleeding
goes unchecked.

It's something that's passed on
through the mother.

Women are carriers
and often don't know it.

I had no idea.

It's not very common.

Roughly one in 10,000.

In the past,
the prognosis was not good.

But, very recently,
developments have been made

in clotting factor
replacement therapy--

something called
"Cryoprecipitate."

That's what
we're administering now.

Please...

just tell me...

is he gonna be okay?

Hey.

You should get some sleep.

This is not your fault.

I spoke to my mother.

I had an uncle who died young.

I never knew why.

It turns out it was hemophilia.

She didn't warn you?

She didn't understand
how it was passed on.

She said they used

to duct tape pillows around him

when he was a boy.

They wheeled him
around in a wagon

so he wouldn't hurt himself.

We're gonna be all right.

I love you.

We have a beautiful boy,

and he's gonna be fine.

We just have to be
a little more careful.

Stay down, homo,
if you know what's good for you.

You okay?

You shoot up before the game?

No.

Don't worry.

I got your back.

That dickhead's going down.

I hate this shit.

It never dissolves properly.

Hi.

Hi.

What happened?

I just hurt my shoulder.

Playing road hockey.

I thought we decided
that was a bad idea.

You decided.

Hey, Mom.
We're really hungry.

Can we have a snack?

It's okay.

It's just my brother.

He does it all the time.

Yeah. It doesn't hurt
or nothing.

- Jeez--

I'll call her mother.

All right, come on.

We're late.

Why do I have
to go to the dentist

on my one day off school?

Because it's also
my day off school.

I'm done.

You think I'm gonna
need a needle?

What's the problem?
You just took one.

Yeah, but it wasn't in my mouth.

You know, you should
really spruce up

the place a little.

Why does nothing ever work?
These keys keep sticking.

Hey, I thought we agreed
that last cup makes another pot.

Sorry.

Also,

I'm not the receptionist.

Noted.
For the record, who is?

Well, okay, right now, it's me,

but you need to check

the resumes I left on your desk,

and Margaret's on line two.

Next time, you might want
to lead with that.

Hi! Everything okay?

It's fine, yeah.
We're just at the dentist.

I know, that's why I was asking.

If something
can be transmitted sexually,

it could be also transmitted
by blood, right?

Theoretically. Why?

There's an article
in The Times--

You didn't finish
the crossword, did you?

Forget about that.

There's a new disease

emerging in the gay community
in the U.S.

They're calling it
"pre-cancer syndrome."

Yeah, I think I heard of that.

It's, um... "G.R.I.D."

"Gay-related
immune deficiency."

This article is saying

that the Centers
for Disease Control

thinks it might be
an infectious agent.

This new concentrate
that Ryan is taking,

it's pooled from
how many blood donors?

Is it 20,000?

I know you probably

think I'm overreacting, but--

No.

No, I'll...
I'll call the CDC.

Vancouver Daily News.

Mysterious disease
no one knows anything about.

A few gays in the U.S.

That's a few hundred cases.

And the death rate is high--
it's almost all of them.

Homosexuals?

So because it's gay people,
nobody cares?

Look, it's buried in the back.

The Timesdoesn't care either.

Not everything's
gonna be Clifford Olson.

11 grisly murders
in our own backyard.

Gonna be tough to top that.

We have
a big gay community here.

Really?
I hadn't noticed.

So, how many people
have this thing?

Well, as of March,

there's one reported
case in Canada.

It's a guy in Windsor,
but that doesn't mean--

Get me something else.

♪ The silence can be...

It must hurt.

Who hit you?

Doncaster.

Asshole.

Does he know you're a bleeder?

♪ ...Just between you and me

I hate that word.

Sorry.

I'd rather he run me over
than treat me like a pussy.

Why do you play

when you know
you could get hurt?

♪ ...Just between
you and me... ♪

Because I like it.

I'm not just gonna stop living.

I just take a shot if I need it.

Your parents
must worry about you.

Yeah?
How about yours?

They know you're smoking weed

in the park with boys?

Not "boys."

One boy.

Why do it?

Because I like it.

♪ Just between you and me

There's nothing to worry about.

Well, actually, my husband Will,

he works for Public Health,

and he spoke with the CDC,

and they're worried.

This disease is spreading fast,

and there's already
one case in Miami

where a heterosexual hemophiliac
is showing symptoms.

What if he got it
from factor concentrate?

No classes today?

A substitute is covering
for me this morning.

This was too important to wait.

I'd like to switch Ryan
back to Cryo.

That would be
a big step backwards.

The new product
is more convenient,

but each vial is made up

from a pool
of up to 20,000 donors.

That's a lot of exposure
to potential infection.

Hepatitis, as well as, um...
whatever this new thing is.

There is no evidence
of any increased threat

of transmitting
blood-borne pathogens,

particularly here in Canada.

But each unit of Cryo
comes from only one donor.

It would be much safer.

And besides,

the Connaught concentrate
is terrible.

It doesn't
reconstitute properly.

Well, there are definitely
some kinks to be worked out.

Look, I am the medical
professional here.

All our patients will remain
on the concentrate.

The Red Cross has not expressed

any concerns about its safety

beyond
the already-indicated risks.

I'm sorry, are you saying
that you won'tgive Ryan Cryo,

even though
it's readily available?

That's what I'm saying.

So you can get back
to teaching the A-B-Cs now.

Dr. Furesz
is on the phone.

John Derrick.

John, have you seen the news

out of the recent CDC meeting?

You're talking about AIDS?

Just a heads-up
that we're drafting a notice

asking you to study possible
transmission through blood,

and we would like you
to alert all physicians

to increase surveillance

of hemophilia
patients' symptoms.

I don't foresee a problem here.

Of course.

There is the matter
of importation of plasma

from the U.S.

for the Canadian
clotting factors.

By all rights,

we should be able
to collect and process

enough Canadian blood
to supply our own needs,

but we can't get the provinces
to approve the budget.

Well, that is between
you and them.

I leave it
in your capable hands.

I wouldn't worry.

There are no cases

of transfusion-related
AIDS in Canada.

Frank Schnabel?

Yes.

I'm Dr. Tsoukas.

Nice to meet you.

Dr. Strawczynski asked me
to look in on you.

Never good news
when a specialist

is forced to call in
another specialist, is it?

Well, not a specialist yet.

I'm actually a resident,
currently studying hay fever.

I understand that you want
your T-cells tested.

That's right.

Okay.

Well, let's take it
one step at a time.

You have hemophilia?

Yes.

I understand
you're the founding member

of the Canadian
Hemophilia Society?

Someone had to do it.

Dr. Strawczynski says

that you were one of
her first patients

to switch from Cryo

to the new concentrated
factor-VIII product?

Changed my life in many ways.

I can travel freely now.

In fact, I was just in Europe

for a conference.

Had to treat myself.

Elbow.

Roughly a week later,

I came down with this rash.

Fever, night sweats and chills.

There are a number of causes
for those symptoms.

This is what's
about to be published

in Morbidity and Mortality
Weekly, in the U.S.

No one wants to admit this thing
isn't just a gay disease.

There are three cases
in hemophiliacs down there.

It's in the blood products.

I-I'll look into it.

I know what's going on.

I'm a heterosexual man

and I have AIDS.

: Technically,
this is an adult clinic,

but there are
no hard and fast rules.

So you don't think

Dr. Mathews
will have a problem

giving Ryan Cryo?

It shouldn't be an issue.

That's great.

But, to be clear,

we haven't been given any reason
to worry about concentrates,

and Cryo is not risk-free.

I know.

But thank you.

What's your problem?

Come on.

I gotta go.

Dude...

Grow up.
It was a joke.

I know.

Going to screw
your girlfriend, I hope.

Yeah, I wish.

: I hear
Peter has a girlfriend.

: I don't
know what's going on.

It's not like
he brings her around.

What's Andy say?

Not much.

Just that, he doesn't see Peter

as much as he used to.

I'm sure there's nothing wrong.

Those two are such good friends.

Andy hasn't really
been himself lately.

He's not talking much anymore,

and when he does,
it's just snapping at me.

Yeah, Peter's no different.

Teenage boys.

He's always talked
to me, though.

Maybe it's just because
it's the two of us.

I'm probably making
too much of it all,

but I can't help it.

Adam got the same way
before he left.

Do you think it's drugs?

No! Do you?

I don't know.

I smelled pot

on Peter's jacket once or twice.

Well, I've looked.

All I found was nudie magazines.

Boys.

I spoke with
the doctor following

one of the three American
hemophiliacs with AIDS.

Name's Man-Chiu Poon.

And what's he say?

If the disease is indeed coming

through the blood supply,

it's surviving
the filtration process,

which means
the culprit responsible

has to be extremely small,

possibly a virus.

Your patient,
Mr. Schnabel,

has an imbalance of T-cells

that matches the American cases.

Do you really think that
Frank could have AIDS?

The T-cell abnormality
could be a result

of exposure to foreign proteins
in the blood product,

o-or even a genetic connection
to the hemophilia itself.

Far as I know,
there's never been

a study on the immune system

of hemophiliacs here in Canada.

I'm applying to start one.

I'll encourage
my patients to volunteer.

I'd appreciate that, thank you.

Thinking about
changing your major?

Maybe.

I'm this way.

Dr. Strawczynski?

If they ask you what
the study is about,

what are you going to tell them?

I'll tell them
exactly what it is.

A general study
of the immune system.

I know it's early,

but have you considered
putting something

in the Hemophilia Society
newsletter?

You know, getting info out
to patients directly?

It's been discussed.

We don't want to panic
anyone just yet.

That's the thing
about, you know,

infectious diseases...

by the time you start to panic,

it's often too late.

Well, surely,
we're not there yet.

Dr. Herst?

Hi. William Sanders.

You're, um, you're
Deputy Director

of the Toronto Red Cross
Centre, right?

Yes.

I just started volunteering.

My son has hemophilia.

What can I do for you?

Well, I didn't

want to interrupt the meeting,

but I was just wondering
why nothing was discussed

about product safety.

I don't see why it would be.

Well, with everything
going on in the U.S.?

Recommendations are being made.

The, um, the National
Hemophilia Foundation down there

is saying people
should move back to Cryo.

Not everyone.

I-I'm sorry?

The NHF is recommending

Cryo for newly-diagnosed,
mild hemophiliacs,

and those
under the age of five years.

That's not "everyone."

: True, that is true,
but isn't that an indication?

Well, things are
different in the U.S.

There's no cases of AIDS here.

Actually, we have 12.

12 reported cases of AIDS.

Those are from
high-risk groups--

homosexuals, Haitians,
and heroin users.

I hear they've being
dubbed the "Four-'H' Club" --

fourth being hemophiliacs.

None has been tied
to blood transfusions

of any kind--
that's what I meant.

Well, I'm just saying

why not be cautious?

Inform people

and give them the choice.

Hemophiliacs need
to treat their bleeds.

The last thing that we want
to do here is promote fear.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

Thank you for chiming in.

Yeah, well,
we really rang her bell.

Lawrence Hartley, treasurer.

William Sanders.
Concerned father.

Christ. I can't stand it.

That's still broken.

I can see that.

: As far as
the directive from the B.O.B.

regarding the potential
transmission of AIDS.

to hemophiliacs,

a working group was established.

According to the latest minutes,

after six months,

any evidence that hemophiliacs
are at risk is in--

Son of a bitch!

That window is painted shut.

I asked for it to be fixed!

You also asked for
the thermostat to be fixed.

Unbelievable.

So how are the plans
for the new building

coming along?

Still trying
to get budget approval.

So, no cases of
AIDS transmission

in Canadian hemophiliacs yet?

According to the study,

the odds of getting AIDS
from blood in Canada

are one in a million.

We've fielded calls suggesting

that homosexuals
and other high-risk groups

refrain from donating blood.

That's ridiculous.

These people don't realize
what we're up against here.

It's a balancing act.

Last thing we need
is to scare away donors.

And we can't single out

a specific group without cause.

I mean, imagine people
being asked questions

about sexual activity
and orientation?

We're relying on the assumption

that only good people give blood

and good people
would think twice

if they thought they had
a communicable disease.

Of course, they would.

What if they didn't
know they had it?

Can you imagine
if donations declined?

There are real consequences

to any reduction
of the blood supply.

People need to understand

there is something worse

than a possible
contagion in the blood.

No blood at all.

My understanding

is that four donors with AIDS.

would throw the whole
system into jeopardy.

Nothing is without risk.

The odds of dying
in a car accident

are 1 in 5,000.

One in a million.

I think that's fair to say.

You can't tell us
to stop having sex.

That can't be the answer.

Well, you can use condoms.

- What's the government doing?
- Nothing. They refused--

...Our request for funding.
We're on our own.

Nobody cares
if a few faggots die.

They can't say it's not
happening here anymore.

12 cases have been
reported in Canada.

That number's total bullshit!

We all know
it's much higher than that.

How many of us go back and forth

to San Fran and New York?

AIDS doesn't give a shit
where you live.

Ben Landry, right?
Vancouver Daily?

12 reported cases.

Not one mainstream article yet.

Look, it's not me.

It's just everyone else.

I'm doing a piece on the safety
of the blood system.

Well, I can tell you--
gay men take

a great deal of pride
in the act of donating blood.

Even if they could
be spreading AIDS?

You want us to self-defer?

I hate to be morbid--

But what you really need

is proof that AIDS is a threat

to the hetero population.

Real people.

You want headlines?
Bring me a body.

Andy!

What the hell are you doing?

Nothing.

You could've burnt
this whole house down!

I'm not gonna
burn the house down!

Just leave me alone!

No! I will not
leave you alone!

What has gotten into you?

Just stay away from me!

The Lancet rejected
my immune system study.

"We cannot evaluate
your data."?

I know.

No one understands
what it means.

Unless--

Unless we have a test,
all we have is speculation.

You're freezing
all the samples, right?

Yes, when there
finally is a test,

we'll be able to go back
and get proof,

but that doesn't help right now.

You have to submit the study
somewhere else.

"Canada Diseases Weekly"
said they'd publish it.

That's not the same
as a peer-reviewed journal.

: Hey, Will?
Take a look at this.

A baby died in San Francisco.

You know what this means?

Yeah, proof that AIDS
is transmitted by blood.

They tracked the blood
back to a man

who had no symptoms
when he donated.

He had no idea he was infected.

We knew there was
an incubation period,

but it could be much longer
than anyone suspected.

Who knows how many people
are walking around with it

and don't know it?

And giving blood.

How bad is it?

I don't know.

That's the problem.

It's in the blood,

it's gonna hit
the general population.

Probably already has.

No one likes to hear the word.

They say it's fear-mongering.

Epidemic?

That's Doncaster's house.

What's happened?

Was anyone inside?

We don't know.

: T-cells assist

in a normal functioning
immune system.

And low T-cells

indicate a compromised
immune system.

There are a variety of causes.

Prolonged presence
of acute or chronic infections,

which may or may not
be treatable.

There are a few rare syndromes--

some genetic, some acquired,

and of course,
certain types of cancers...

According to this article,

more than half of
the hemophiliacs in your study

have abnormally-low T-cells.

Yes.

Were you surprised
with that result?

Well, yes,
but it was a small sampling.

32 subjects.

We're expanding the study.

No one's actually ever
tested the T-cell ratios

of hemophiliacs before.

We really don't know why
we're seeing this result.

You believe hemophiliacs

are at risk of contracting AIDS?

Possible, yes.

But there's no, proof right now.

The Red Cross says

that Canadian blood
products are safe.

Would you agree with that?

I would agree that
that is, their position.

There's no point

in beating around the bush here.

If I'm going to get
this story published,

I need a quote highlighting

the dangers of AIDS
transmission through blood,

something that wasn't
in this article.

Do you believe that half

of the hemophiliacs
in your study

have been infected with AIDS?

I've... I've said all I can.

It would be irresponsible of me

to speculate further right now.

Will you test my son?

You understand what I'm saying?

These-- These results don't mean

that the people with
diminished T-cells

have AIDS.

I'm asking you to test my son.

Andy?

It's me.

Go away.

Andy...

Get out!

- Andy, please.
- Don't touch me!

Andy!

: How could
you do this to me?

Andy!

I hate you!
I hate you!

I hate you!

I would never have turned him in

if I knew that
this would happen.

That place that
they're keeping him--

...It's no better than a prison.

You should've seen
the look in his eyes.

Wasn't my son anymore.

He's seen a doctor,
though, hasn't he?

They seem to think it's...

in his head.

Like he's had
some sort of a mental breakdown.

Ben met with
a doctor in Montreal.

He's doing a study
on hemophiliacs.

For what?

Low T-cells.

It's what happens to people
when they get AIDS.

It's possible

it could be transmitted
through blood products.

Why hasn't anyone
told us about this?

I don't know.

I'm only telling you
this because...

Look, I could be way off.

The most common symptoms
are swollen lymph glands,

fever, chills,
things like that...

but apparently,
some people experience

behavioral changes.

Mood swings, memory loss...

They're saying, in some cases,

it can affect the brain,
cause dementia.

Well, the doctor, he never...

The doctor who saw Andy
might not know any better.

"There is no question

"that gay men
should not donate blood

until the issue is resolved."

Who's this "Shuster" guy
they're quoting?

I interviewed Tsoukas,
who did the study,

but he wouldn't go on record.

That quote is from
his supervisor.

Who was willing to go on record.

Okay.

So, you're...

you're saying it's my fault

that some dinky, little journal
scooped us, is that it?

What are the Red Cross saying?

What they've been
saying all along!

That science
supports their position,

that there's not a problem
here in Canada,

but that's bullshit!

Everything is not fine!

The Red Cross
is a humanitarian organization

doing countless good works
for the sick and the vulnerable

for what, the past century?

If you're gonna call them liars,

you better be able to prove it.

Ben... Ben!

What?

Look, I know
this is personal for you--

Unbelievable.

You were just in New York.

It's just business, that's all.

If you say so.

Emergency meeting?

What's it about?

Ask the NHF.

They've got nothing new.

They're just reacting
to the CDC conference.

It's all just
a bunch of hysteria.

Still... maybe
we should say something.

I just did.

I told the media

we're not gonna
single out gay donors.

I mean, look at what's
happening in the U.S.

The hostility
and violence toward gays

is up across the board.

They called it...
"gay plague."

And then "gay-related
immune deficiency."

I'm not gonna fuel the fire.

The truth is...

...They'll be happier
when we're all dead.

You don't have it.

I don't have it.

I wish I knew for sure.

This place has
really gone downhill.

I'm not ordering
from them again.

We were victims of a crusade

long before AIDS
threw gas on the flames.

They think we deserve it.

But it'll only get worse

if they think
we're giving it to them.

I can't eat this.

If the NHF is gonna
recommend screening donors,

then right or not,

we're gonna look
like we're late.

We ask all high-risk groups

to voluntarily
exclude themselves.

Keep it to a press release.

No face-to-face required.

: Earlier today,

Haitian protesters gathered

outside of
Red Cross headquarters

to protest a new policy

that singles out
high-risk groups.

They say it's racist propaganda

and that there's
no significant relationship

between Haitians and AIDS.

: Response
to the Red Cross press release.

Targeted high-risk groups
are going nuts.

On one hand,

they say there is no evidence

of AIDS transmission
through blood

and then they single out
homosexual and bi-sexual men

with multiple partners,

newly-arrived
Haitian immigrants,

and I.V. drug users,

and ask them not to donate.

Now they're all
crying discrimination.

I wanted them to reach out

and cooperate
with the communities,

not dictate to them.

Now it's about human rights
instead of safe blood products.

I'm sorry it's taken so long.

I, um, I wanted to run
the test twice.

And?

Normal T-cell count

is between 500 and 1200
per cubic millimetre.

Peter's level is 412.

That's obviously below normal,

but I-I don't want you
to jump to conclusions.

Mr. Landry, are you there?

Yes. I'm here.

Mr. Landry, this--
this does not mean

that Peter is sick
or-or is ever going to get sick.

We...
don't know what it means.

Please...

Dr. Tsoukas, I think
we both know what it means.

Yesterday,

the CDC called
an emergency meeting in Atlanta

to press for measures

to control the spread of AIDS,

a deadly disease

which began in the gay community

and now appears
to be threatening

the American blood system.

Those infected are dying
at an alarming rate.

Today, we have learned
that U.S. blood bankers

are drafting measures
to screen high-risk donors,

while here, at home,

the Canadian Red Cross
continues to assure the public

that there is little to no risk

of contracting AIDS
from a transfusion.

All these representatives

of the fractionators
are arguing the economics.

I mean, they are literally

weighing the cost
of changing their ways

versus potential lawsuits

when Don Francis
slams his fist on the table

and he says,
"How many people have to die?

How many deaths do we need?"

What did they say?

Nothing.

It's disgusting.

The New England
Journal of Medicine

just published
a preliminary study

suggesting that Cryo

is safer than concentrates.

The next day,

the National
Hemophilia Foundation

added recommendations
for donor screening.

: Why are we
so far behind the U.S.?

I mean, isn't it insane to think

that the border will just act
like some sort of filter?

Particularly when
more than half the concentrates

used in Canada are made from
plasma collected in the U.S.

I mean...

...can't say we don't
have an AIDS problem.

: Why aren't
we seeing any of this

in the Canadian society
newsletters?

Medical Advisory Committee

controls the release
of all the scientific

and medical information,

and the doctors on the committee

don't want to promote panic.

Plus, most of them

also work for the Red Cross.

It's the RC's position
that baffles me.

So John Derrick came out
of that emergency NHF meeting

and he said there
still wasn't any evidence

that AIDS is transmitted
through blood.

They're hiding
behind absolute science.

But you can convict a murderer

on enough
circumstantial evidence.

It just doesn't make any sense.

I mean, when you think
of the Red Cross,

you think first responders,

disaster relief.

Well, the provinces
control the purse strings.

As usual, it all
comes down to money.

Look, the problem is,

no one wants to admit
the danger.

More like they're denying it.

Publicly.

What about privately?

So I'm at this conference
two weeks ago,

and I find myself in line,
talking to Roger Perrault.

And he asks me

if I've switched back to Cryo.

The National Director
of Blood Services

asked you?

Yeah.
And I say, "yeah, I have."

And then he says?

He says...

"Keep it that way."

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

Frankly, I don't blame him.

He said not to panic,

that it didn't mean Peter had...

AIDS.

Say it.

"AIDS."

Andy has AIDS.

Andy and Peter
took the same concentrate,

the same lot numbers
in some cases, I checked.

They really have no idea
what all this means.

Andy is dying!

: I know.

God.

I can barely breathe.

There's nothing anyone
can do at this point.

: What are
we gonna tell him?

He's only 15.

: Nothing.

We're not gonna
tell him anything.

Hey.

Hey, buddy.

I...
I brought you these.

: Why?

Do I need a reason?

Yes.

I just don't want a girlfriend
right now, okay?

Did I do something wrong?

I already told you,
it's not about you.

Is it because I wouldn't
have sex with you?

No!

I told you, it was gonna happen.

Just don't press it.

Peter, please.
Just talk to me.

No.

We're over. Okay?
That's it.

Fuck you.

I'm glad I didn't
sleep with you.

You have no idea.

Ew, that's gross.

What the hell?

Em, go play in your room.

We need to talk to Peter.

Why can't I hear?

It's adult stuff, honey.
Go on.

Andy passed away.

We're so sorry.

Why didn't you guys
tell me I have AIDS?

I heard you talking.

Your T-cells are
slightly below normal,

but nobody knows what that...

that means yet, so--

It means I have AIDS.

Like Andy.

Why didn't you come to us?

You-- You guys
didn't come to me.

You didn't want me to know.

We didn't want you to worry.

Because I'm gonna die!

Stop it.

I don't want that
to even enter your mind.

- How could it not?
- Because you're not sick!

The doctor who tested you

said there's a number of reasons

why your T-cells could be low.

- Peter! Where are you going?
- Peter!

Will Sanders.

Will, it's Lawrence.
Listen to this.

It's a draft ofHemophilia Today

that's about to come out,

and I am quoting Rosalyn Herst.

"Hemophiliacs should continue
to treat as usual."

Jesus Christ!

"The media reports
you may be reading

"are alarmist and distorted.

"None of the 30 known cases
of AIDS in Canada

"have been related
to transfusion.

"Blood products are safe

"and the risk of damage
from bleeds

"far outweighs
any theoretical risk

of viral transmission."
