BRITISH soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan may have been exposed to potentially deadly diseases including HIV and hepatitis after receiving blood transfusions.
Eighteen soldiers were given blood supplied by the United States without the batches being subjected to proper screening checks, The Sun newspaper reported.

British military chiefs launched a desperate search for the soldiers after the Pentagon warned that some batches of blood used for battlefield transfusions could be contaminated."
