If there is no real increased risk due to advanced testing and screening, then I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to give blood. Weird battle to fight imo.I seem to recall a young boy had contracted the virus through transfusion, but it was a long time ago.
Medical science and screening has since gotten much more sophisticated though, of course, since then.
The only thing that is a concern on my end really is the up to 6 month period where HIV can lie dormant before being detected.If there is no real increased risk due to advanced testing and screening, then I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to give blood. Weird battle to fight imo.
I don't want blood from anyone that is having unprotected sex.
Rdg on that. That's why we both support France with their existing policy. That's smart, and we're smart.
Um, I'm not a fan of trump but I have to disagree.I would accept blood from a normal gay dude who uses condoms, or a dude in a monogamous gay relationship, or gay marriage. Your average gay dude isn't as promiscuous and negligent as a married Donald Trump.

Also did you read the policy of France? Sounds like you agree.
Should It Be a Right For Promiscuous Gay Men to Donate Blood?

Can't they just test them beforehand? Or at least test the donated blood before they use it? I guess it's cost related, but I would think that they would test all blood before injecting it into someone else. I don't know how it all works, but I hope they aren't just using the honor system to distinguish clean blood from dirty blood, before they actually use it.

This. M to M sex is very dangerous STD wise. Sorry, it's a fact. If you want to do it, that's up to you, and it's not a crime. But to engage in it and think it's totally safe is being stupid.94% of new HIV cases among young men are homosexuals.
