2010 'Red Shirt' blood had HIVTHE Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) on

Friday confirmed that some blood samples from the 'Red Shirt' activists were

contaminated with the HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C viruses. 'About 2 per

cent tested positive for HIV. Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C each were found in

five per cent ,' Deputy Bangkok Governor Dr Malinee Sukvejvorakij said. She was

speaking after Dr Weng Tojirakarn, a leader of 'Red Shirt' Democratic Alliance

against Dictatorship (DAAD), called on the BMA to comment on the matter. On

Thursday, Dr Kusol Prawichpaiboon publicly expressed concern about the possible

outbreak of diseases caused by the DAAD blood-splashing activities. He revealed

that the blood thrown in front of Government House, the Democrat Party

headquarters, and Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's house carried

diseases. 'Indeed, some blood samples have tested positive for diseases,' Dr

Malinee said on Friday. She said the BMA collected blood samples before starting

the cleaning operation out of concern for the health of the red shirt

demonstrators. Despite warnings from various health authorities, thousands of

'Red Shirts' provided blood for the blood-splashing activities last month. Dr

Malinee did not say where the blood test was conducted but the BMA has its own

medical college and a hospital. As for Dr Kusul, he said his information was

based on blood tests carried out at the Ramathibodi Hospital, which now admitted

that it might have unknowingly conducted the test on the red shirts' blood. --
