Hoaxes and Urban Legends: Bayer drug contains HIV

Whenever you receive an email that urges you to immediately forward that mail to everyone you know, there is a very good chance the email is a hoax. Please take the time to verify the message by doing a Google search before you send it on to anyone else. In most cases when you take an arbitrary sentence from the message and google for it you'll end up with many hoax warning pages as the result.

The following email is one such hoax. It claims that a drug called "FACTOR AID" or "FACTORED" manufactured by Bayer is infected with HIV and is spreading AIDS. The truth is that blood clotting agents known as "Factor VIII" were produced from donated blood and some such products were tainted with HIV before proper screening was introduced in the mid-1980s. HIV infections did result in many countries. However, current blood clotting agents made by Bayer are not made from donated blood (see Recombinant factor VIII), so there is no risk of HIV infections.
