Actually, I had this discussion with my nurse wife this evening and come to find out the largest growing demographic (and unknown why) for HIV is seniors and Hispanic women.

Accordingly, the health care system is moving towards testing all blood in the blood banks for HIV.

Moronic FDA could have just said that to alleviate concern... but maybe they don't know it - which makes their decision even more reprehensible.

Your postgrobdriver reminds me of another of my favorite issues. In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association (APA) decided to remove homosexuality as a mental disorder from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). With sufficient abstentions, under-votes, and apprehensive responses a third of APAâ€™s 17,000 plus membership approved removal despite the fact no studies were presented to dispute prior research.

Psychology and Psychiatry chose to abandon all pretense of scientific rigor in exchange for popular societal and political acclaim. The barriers then erected to meaningful research about homosexuality remind me of Genesis 3:23-24. In these verses the Lord God banished humanity from the Garden of Eden and placed an angel in the Garden to keep humanity away forever.

By their actions, Psychology and Psychiatry appear content within their own Garden of Eden. They seem to consider the accouterments of a religion to be more attractive than those of a science. The under-voting and public attacks support the understanding that the DSM is as likely to accumulate political manifestos and marketing brochures as attempts at scientific expositions.

In this decision the FDA follows a similar dismal path.

The purpose of their statement was to further the "normalization" of perverted sickos. It is exactly the same motivation as putting women in combat. It has nothing to do with reality or sanity, and everything to do with Liberal social engineering.
