There is a latency period between infection and enough antibodies in the blood to test positive for HIV. You can be infective but test negative for HIV.
This is insane.
Question: Your child is dying and needs blood to survive. You have the choice between two units of blood. One is from a heterosexual and the other from a homosexual or iv drug abuser. Both bags of blood test negative for HIV. Which bag of blood will you choose to put in your child’s body?
The bag from the heterosexual will not give you aids. The bag from the homosexual or iv drug abuser probably will not give you aids, but it might!
Which bag do you choose?
Years later he died of AIDs. Fortunately he did not pass it on to his wife.
My 20 yr old daughter required blood after being shot. I am extremely worried because I work in immunology and have since 1988. I remember the everyday children, grandmas, fathers and extremely ill people, particularly chronic blood recipients, who got AIDs.. Wait until the Cuban Variant hits. I remember the dire predictions of the numbers of people infected and the death rates being pushed. I guess these scientists just want to prove they were right. Makes me wonder how they will actually melt the Himalayas to make that prediction come true also, o wait, that was a math error.
There is no longer a direct donor option, found this out when DIL had breast cancer surgery, inept surgeon nicked a vein, she was bleeding out. She is A- not that common in Evansville, IN for her to get a unit of blood, her same type brother offered, and was told all blood goes threw the RC and it takes a MONTH to process. She needed a second surgery to repair the nicked vein, and still ended up with continued bleeding and NEVER got a unit of blood. Just a non fill script for OTC Iron Pills. Surgeon was PO’d she wanted skin sparing surgery instead of RADICAL and used staples causing more scaring. But sutures on the second surgery.
Bank your own blood if you have a planned surgery a month before.
