Witnesses say medical staff did not believe they were infected with hepatitis C in the UK.
Samantha May, from the charity the Hepatitis C Trust, says she has seen a trend in black, Asian and other ethnic minority victims of the contaminated blood scandal facing an "additional set of barriers" to white victims.
Regina Alleys Cheptaniu, 76, who is originally from Kenya but moved to the UK in the early 1970s, was another witness to give evidence on Friday. Ms Cheptaniu added that having hepatitis C "makes me feel lonely", and she worries that people "will think I'm dirty".The inquiry also heard from Ghufrana Qureshi, who said her mother was infected with hepatitis C after a blood transfusion in West Yorkshire following a miscarriage in the 1970s.
