But... how will they reproduce?

[ken5050]

More importantly, how will they verify?

[hillary's_fat_a**]

How will will know? Look at your anus for torn, inflamed tissue?

[colorado tanker]

Makes sense to me. It's a group at high risk of having HIV.

[Always Right]

It is not like the gay liberals are prone to tell the truth, so it is kind of pointless.

[risk]

Awesome!

[Dog]

You are gross...

[CT CONSERVATIVE]

RAT ALERT: MAJOR VOTE OPPORTUNITY LOSS,Better alert Jesse, Reverend Al, Howard Dean, Kate Michaelson, Hitlary, Barney Frank...

[Always Right]

More importantly, how will they verify?

There are scientific methods. The most accurate is to check if they are wearing designer shoes.

[Last Dakotan]

More importantly, how will they verify?

Probably the same way blood banks do. Bore you to death with endless questions.

[freebilly]

More importantly, how will they verify?

They'll show the potential donor pics of Tom Cruise and Anna Kournikova and measure the physiological responses....

a	Includes persons with a diagnosis of AIDS, reported from the beginning of the epidemic through 2003. Cumulative total includes 1 person of unknown sex.
b	AIDS developed in 46 adults/adolescents and 3 children after they received blood that had tested negative for HIV antibodies. AIDS developed in 14 additional adults after they received tissue, organs, or artificial insemination from HIV-infected donors. Four of the 14 received tissue or organs from a donor who was negative for HIV antibody at the time of donation.
c	Includes 36 adults/adolescents who were exposed to HIV-infected blood, body fluids, or concentrated virus in health care, laboratory, or household settings, as supported by seroconversion, epidemiologic, and/or laboratory evidence. One person was infected after intentional inoculation with HIV-infected blood. For an additional 361 persons who acquired HIV infection perinatally, AIDS was diagnosed after age 13. These 361 persons are tabulated under the adult/adolescent, not the pediatric, transmission category.
d	Includes 5 children who were exposed to HIV-infected blood as supported by seroconversion, epidemiologic, and/or laboratory evidence: 1 child was infected after intentional inoculation with HIV-infected blood and 4 children were exposed to HIV-infected blood in a household setting. Of the 178 children, 23 had sexual contact with an adult with or at high risk for HIV infection.

There are scientific methods. The most accurate is to check if they are wearing designer shoes.

[hillary's_fat_a**]

You are gross...

Sorry, but inspection of the anus is a foolproof way to determine if a foreign body has been inserted. If you know of another method to detect this, let us all know ....

[sure_fine]

It is likely to affect some lesbian couples who want a child and prefer to use a gay man's sperm for artificial insemination.

and they hope to gain, what?

[Always Right]

So it looks like 75% of Aids cases still come for gay sex and drug use.

[Always Right]

It is likely to affect some lesbian couples who want a child and prefer to use a gay man's sperm for artificial insemination. and they hope to gain, what?

Perhaps a transvestite who likes other transvestites.

[sgtbono2002]

They hope to grow more fruits. Why would any gay person want to have a straight child? They want to grow their own fruits.

[ken5050]

Two years ago, Iw as giving blood at out local community blood drive..at the firehouse..always a festive affair, everyone pitching in..and it's all out in the open, in the one big common room..so "privacy" is lacking....so, I'm at a desk being asked the usual questions pertaining to my sexual practices and health sytatus, when I realized that sitting across the room from me, waiting to donate, were 6 nuns in habits..

[Ignatius J Reilly]

yea but HIV is transmitted through blood not sperm
