Oh yes I remember. And how she was slandered in the MSM!

Are there any private blood sources that are not buying street blood from the homeless?

There is going to be a ONE YEAR comment period. Time for real science and real conservatives to speak up.

This is about what these 1.5% do not what they are as a status.

Homosexuals are using this blood issue to attempt to redefine science of behavior (fetish sex) as a status.

Gays are diseased and suffering so they want you suffering

Has anyone told the dinosaur media what Castro does to homosexuals infected with Hiv-aids? (they are put in defacto leper colonies)

[MrB]

There’s several factors at work here. Here’s the top two:

Any indication of stigma indicates an inferiority, so that has to be removed, because that brings in to play the whole Christian definitions of right and wrong.

Normal people “just don’t care enough” about the HIV issue because it doesn’t affect them. They have to be forced to care by infecting the general population.

All blood given by perverts and junkies should be labeled with a big skull and crossbones.But we can take comfort in the knowledge that Preasident Obala,his family,friends and trust funded supporters will never get that dirty blood.

I just went to Africa.Since I've been home the blood donor center of the hospital where I regularly give blood told me I can't give until 1 year after having left Africa (mainly because of malaria).It's easy to see the wisdom in such a policy but it now looks like I'll be able to announce "yah,I've been taking it up the bum for years" and I'll have no problem. (and BTW...I haven't,despite my screen name).

Un bleeping believable!

Did the FDA try to ask Arthur Ashe, Elizabeth Glaser (and her children) and the large number of hemophiliacs who died if “science has shown us that our current policy is not justified.” Do you think that the odds of a GAY man not having GAY sex with another GAY man or men for a year is better than 1 in 10,000?

I read science projects 50% of homosexuals will be HIV+ by age 50. I don’t think AIDS is a concern anymore, because of all the HIV medications, but living with HIV is horrible. Along with all the other problems, apparently it rots their brains.
Yeah, I think homosexuals want to infect heterosexuals with HIV.
