Right, all they have to do is lie on the pre question screening and they can give blood. Now to my knowledge they screen all blood they gather for STD’s if someone is found to have an STD then they may not actually discard this blood but rather use to for transfusion of people with like illnesses. It's still really gross to think about though because everyone makes mistakes when handling this stuff.

Pretty soon gays and lesbians will be permitted to go around the workplace and do whatever they like i.e. harass, wear revealing clothing and what not just because the libs will have them protected from discrimination somehow. It will get worse before they all get shoved back in the closet.

I had to get vaccinated for Hepatitis C before matriculating to college. I gave blood sometime shortly after the last dose, and my blood was flagged. I went back to donate a few months later, and they actually would not allow me to donate; my name was flagged.

I called the blood service to inquire, and I had to go to their downtown headquarters, sit in a room and have a nurse condescend to me for having Hepatitis C. I asked her, “Do you check for Hep C or the antibodies?”

“Antibodies.”

“Well, I was vaccinated for Hep C prior to college. Would that show up as the same?”

“Oh... well, yes. I suppose it would.”

I was allowed to donate again from that point on. However, if this was a homosexual with HIV/AIDS, they would likely never be able to donate unless they provided fake identity information during the pre-donation screening.

I will give gay men one thing: they’re almost always thin and dress well. I’m 6’2”, 325 lb. and can’t tell the difference between my blue socks and my black ones. I often find myself wearing one of each. At least I never get hit on by them!
