>>> (Gay Blood gives AIDS to Innocent)
It’s hemoglobin. Not homoglobin. A med student writing in his Blue Book an answer referencing anything like “gay blood” would fail the course. Hematology hasn’t found any sexual attraction amongst blood cells. This reminds me of the MASH episode where the wounded soldier insisted the doctors not make a mistake and give him “colored” blood.
Now instead if you’d like to discuss blood donors from high risk groups, I’d agree in principle. The standard tests are not yet 100% reliable in screening out those donors (gay or otherwise) who may carry the virus.
The problem isn’t that the blood scans don’t find and exclude those with active HIV. They do. The difficulty lies in diagnosing those not yet visibly infected, but instead still incubating the disease.
The tests are improving. Wiki mentions the latest type test lessen the period of uncertainty from six months since initial exposure, down to just twelve days. At some point soon the detection problem will be resolved.
It was “Gay Blood Donor” but abbreviated and it is distressing that it offends your sensibilities and that of NPR. Liberals are funny, never mind the victims of this incredible selfishness, those poor innocents who have to die, we only care if gay people are offended. Never mind that we are all at immense risk if we get blood from gay donors but we can’t talk about it because it’s politically incorrect, or we are declared bigots.
Don’t we get enough sanctimonious piety from the media that we can get a respite from it here.
By the way, NPR is looking for a new analyst.
