Jason Evans was four years old when his dad Jonathan died in 1993, having contracted both HIV and hepatitis C at the Oxford Haemophilia Centre. Mr Evans' father was among thousands of people to be infected by contaminated blood in the 1970s and '80s after being given a blood clotting agent called factor VIII.
If a single donor was infected with a blood-borne virus such as hepatitis or HIV then the whole batch of medication could be contaminated.
