Richard Norsworthy, a haemophiliac, was infected in 1981, and died eight years later aged 24.
The father of a man who died from being given infected blood said receiving compensation had to provide closure, otherwise the unfairness of what happened "nags at you and you end up going round the bend".
His father Bruce said his death was "shattering" and those responsible were culpable for gross negligence. Mr Norsworthy, from Minsterely, his son "was amazingly philosophical," adding: "He just wanted to get on with it.""In those days, Aids was like a pariah thing and we tried to keep it relatively quiet because of the stigmas associated with it."
