Professor Turner, on behalf of SNBTS, confirmed in a statement to the Inquiry that Mrs U's husband had received a platelet transfusion and that following the introduction of HIV donor testing in 1985 the donor was identified as being HIV positive when donating. Mrs U's husband was found to have received an infected platelet transfusion during the subsequent lookback process and Dr Gillon informed Professor Ludlam of this.
