In Ireland over 1,000 people were infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and hepatitis C from blood transfusions and blood products they received between the late 1970s and early 1990s. This review discusses how these events have affected perceptions of blood transfusion with reference to theoretical perspectives on risk. This paper uses Douglas' cultural approach, Beck's 'Risk Society' approach and Social Amplification of Risk Theory to discuss the issues raised by blood transfusion. With regards to risk perceptions of blood transfusion, the issue of trust, in medicine and in technology, at a societal level emerged as a key concept. It is therefore argued that Social Amplification of Risk Theory offers the best understanding of events in Irish blood transfusion history and the most potential in modelling future events in blood transfusion. |
