Bad Blood: A Cautionary Tale

Directed by Marilyn Ness, this film documents the tragic history and facts surrounding the discovery of HIV in the U.S. blood supply in the early days of the AIDS epidemic. On the heels of the Health and Human Services (HHS) Blood Committee’s vote last month to recommend research and review of the FDA’s longstanding deferral of all men who have had sex with another man (MSM) from donating blood, the two communities invested in reform find common ground through the shared history featured in “Bad Blood”.

Currently available for purchase and on Netflix.
