They want to contaminate it freely. This is really an effort to legalize bioterror. I will bet there are some who purposely attempt to poison the blood supply...
The reason the odds are so low for getting aids from the blood supply now is because queers are not allowed to donate blood, if they are allowed to do this the odds will jump considerably. If you wish to take transfusions from someone who quite possible has aids then, please, go right ahead, just don't ask the rest of us to take the same risk!
Exactly! I hope I never need blood,but if I do I would rather get it from my dog than a gay giver.
Gee, that's comforting.
later pingout.
Isn't there a pretty lengthy (6 months?) period of time where a person can be HIV positive but the tests will show up negative?
This is why the ban is necessary.
Also, donating blood is a privilege, not a right.
If they're infected, bygod you will be too.
Typical lib MO - make everyone else as miserable as you are.
Frankly, I just don't get it. There is no reward for having your blood transfused into another person. Some blood banks pay for blood, but you can still get that money and opt out from having the blood transfused, so even the financial incentive doesn't apply.
The only reason I can see for a high-risk person wanting his blood transfused is because he wants the medical authorities to "validate" his decision to engage in high-risk activity. As long as that question is asked of blood donors, it raises the unpleasant fact that certain sexual activity involves increased risk. But that is not the fault of the question. That's just reality.
De' Nile is not just a river in Egypt.
I know a gay man who openly stated in a sizable discussion group that he would not want to know if he had HIV!

Thanks scripter for posting the links.
Those links really do show how insidious and depraved the homosexual agenda is in modern day America.
Yes, the aformentioned Egyptian river is heard from again.
A lot of people who engage in this behavior are really screwed up individuals. That is one of the reasons the risks are so high, because so many of the people are suicidal. I don't think there will every be such a thing as "safe" promiscuous gay sex. Never was, never will be.
But I would hope that people would not go out of their way to infect anonymous people just for the pleasure of infecting them. People that sick are so rare we remember them you years. Folks still talk about the Tylenol poisoner after two decades have passed. Somebody could do the same thing tomorrow, but thankfully total jerks are few and far between.
There's a lot more to read, but perhaps the college students are still young enough to think they already know everything.
Doesn't the Red Cross test all the blood for HIV anyway? If that's the case, why would it be a bad thing for homosexuals to donate blood?
What makes you so confident?
You are joking, right? People do all kinds of things to harm others in this world. To imagine that someone would knowingly donate blood when HIV infected and not tell anyone isn't a stretch at all.
If you don't think someone would do this, remind yourself of that next time you try to open a bottle of Tylenol with it's 'safety seals'.
HA!!
The *perfect* solution.
...& quite *enlightened*, too. :o)
Yes the Red Cross does, but why take a chance and added time, when the incidence of HIV in homosexual circles is much higher and a proven fact.
