After a number of protests and “Act Up” incidents by sexuality-related political groups, the local blood banks have relaxed their donation standards, and gay men and various other groups are no longer permanently banned, as long as they remain free of HIV, Hepatitis, and the more common STDs.
Before this happened, I was already concerned about some of the less-than-sterile procedures used by the phlebotomists at my local blood bank.
But after they gave a free pass to potentially dangerous donors, I said “adios,” and permanently ended my 50+ year record of blood donations.
Since I have rare blood factors, they still send me emails every week urging me to come back in, which I ignore.
Hopefully, for my own elderly health, they will perfect artificial blood within the next ten years.
I see. But, you can still get a Dui...
Sounds like something done as a pure payoff to the gay mafia. More of an attempt to normalize the most radical behavior. Which as we’ve seen reported before, includes gays who want to be infected with HIV as some kind of fetish or self-loathing exercise.
I was hospitalized in San Bernardino, which is a story in itself, when they had their first AIDS case ever. Everyone was terrified as the path to contagion was not known.
And now California embraces it. AIDS is bad enough, but having one’s government unmoored from reality is a nightmare.
Remind me to never go to LA and hire a crack whore.
Unfortunately for Harvey Weinstein, knowingly exposing oneself to others is still illegal ...
Why not? They’re heavy contributers it takes money for democratic legislators to circulate their 2018 renewal license to steal applications.

>>Supporters of the bill said women engaging in prostitution are disproportionately targeted with criminal charges, even in cases where the infection is not transmitted.<<
To use a VERY apt analogy, this is like saying “no need to lock up people who shoot into crowds if they don’t hit very many people.”
So let me get this straight..no someone can KNOWINGLY give blood containing HIV and its fine, no worries..Thank God I already got my blood transfusion in 2006 and dont have to deal with this crap(Had severe anemia) California unfortunately was finished a long time ago..now you can go around spreading AIDS and its all good
Doesn’t hurt Jerry. He can’t get it up anyway.
To my pea-sized brain, this makes no sense. I assume the law was meant to discourage HIV positive individuals from spreading the disease. If that is not the intent, which reducing the penalty suggests, why not just repeal the law completely? I wonder how far off the California legislature is from making it illegal to obey the law?
So in California a blood transfusion for a traffic accident may be fatal. But that’s a misdemeanor. While refusing to call some guy with a beard mam is a jailable offense.
Wickedness at Sodom and Gehemora levels.
Way to go, Moonbeam
Third world California. This state is rushing toward becoming a copy of Mexico. This is what Democrats do to places.
The measure also applies to those who give blood without telling the blood bank that they are HIV-positive.
It’s all fun and games until some elite’s child gets HIV from a blood transfusion, then watch the crap hit the fan. (They never think they’ll be effected by the laws the pass).
“Knowingly exposing others to HIV will no longer be a felony in California”
But by gawd you better not call them by the wrong gender - it’s apparently the speaker’s responsibility to divine just what that gender might me on a specific day, I guess.
And yet ANOTHER reason why Kalifornica is banned from my vacation list.
