California Court of Appeal January 26, 1995, B076913 (Reisner v. Regents of the University of California)

Opinion

VOGEL (Miriam A.), J.

The day after 12-year-old Jennifer Lawson received a transfusion, her doctor discovered the blood was contaminated with HIV antibodies. Although the same doctor continued to treat Jennifer, he never told her or her parents about the tainted blood. Three years later, Jennifer started dating Daniel Reisner and they became intimate.
