WHILE fully supporting your ongoing campaign to enable those people who have contracted AIDS through blood transfusions to claim compensation, I must protest about the language used to support your case.
In numerous articles, your paper and Government spokespeople have described the haemophiliac carriers as ''innocent victims'', the implication being that other sufferers are deserving of their fate.
AIDS strikes indiscriminately - it is not restricted to any one section of society. Those people who are living with AIDS and HIV must not only come to terms with living with a killer disease but must also be aware that large groups of people are revolted by that disease.
To be told, if only by implication, that some carriers are more ''innocent '' than others is a shocking indictment of society's inability to accept the realities of AIDS and HIV. SOPHIE BRIDGE Lamma
