Absolutely correct! Gay men in particular are very high risk blood donation candidates not only is there risk for transmission of HIV, there is also risk of transmitting Hepatitis B and /or C, HPV….. Any individual who engages in high risk sexual activity (multiple partners) is a poor blood donor candidate!

Right on point. Great post!

If that gay gene is discovered the miracles of modern medicine may allow that gene to be "fixed."
BTW, if there is a gay gene this kind of shoots down the "it's a choice" argument from the far right. The gay gene is one debate that homosexuals better hope they lose.

John Ross has an excellent article on his site about aids:

Accepting donated blood from such a statistically at-risk group is bad policy. Of course, without a polygraph at blood drives they are assuming people are answering the questions truthfully.
Trust but verify with screening of the blood.
p.s. Where do people typically store blood for personal/family use?
