Haemophiliac Alan Burgess has survived 40 years with HIV and hepatitis C since being infected.
"I would just like to live out the rest of my days - we just need a bit of peace, a bit of security ," he said.The father-of-three had to give up his successful painting and decorating business when "Aids got hold of me". His mental health has taken a toll "because my friends were dying".
He urged Mr Sunak to "make the decision now" as he fears by the time the inquiry comes to an end, "another 100 people will be dead".Victims and their relatives campaigned for decades for a public inquiry into the scandal "Make so many people happy, make the mothers that have lost their sons happy, make the daughters who have lost their fathers happy, make me happy - the few of us who are left and infected," Mr Burgess said.
"We still have to take drugs each day to stay alive and all the co-morbidities that come with it, the heart problems, the kidney problems.""If it was a simple matter, no-one would have called for an inquiry," Mr Sunak said.Follow East of England news on
