Political correctness (meaning making sure testing was done 1 week before donation) overrules common sense and now we have a someone who needlessly has a life-threatening illness.

Obama and the Democrats are pushing for gays to be able to donate blood and organs, as to not, "discriminate", if I remember correctly.

I feel horrible for the person who received the kidney and the pain and stress they must be under knowing someone went out and had unprotected gay sex weeks before donating a vital organ.

The gay/illegal immigrant/Muslim/Liberal/Environmental agenda will neuter you, then bankrupt you, then eventually, kill you.

The CDC also said would-be organ donors should be told to avoid behavior that can increase their chances of infection.

What idiot wouldn't already know this.

I have no idea, you would think that people would be “low-risk” in the weeks preceding an organ donation...

Donated blood and removed organs for transplants should be thoroughly tested before reuse.

Shorter version: Political Correctness kills people.

I have a friend who got hep C from blood during heart surgery in the 80’s.....try and get someone’s particular blood for a surgery - you cannot....they just put it into the “pool” for general use, and you get whatever comes to you.

Is there a test that can detect HIV that soon?

Either way, you should not be having unprotected gay sex if you’re going to donate an organ!!!

Lawmakers are so intent on making illegal song downloads a felony but this sort of thing goes right by. The donor should be charged with attempted murder.

I’m sorry, but putting someone at serious risk of contracting HIV, which is incurable and expensive to treat, in this case, the rights of the public health should be way more important than individual rights, sort of how it was right in the late 19th/early 20th centuries to put a person infected with tuberculosis under house arrest or quarrantine them. We didn’t care about granting this TB infectee his/her rights so much as we cared about protecting everyone else from contracting a disease that was, without the development of antibiotics, fatal.

It’s pretty sad how political correctness is pretty much about flushing the true order of public health procedures down the toilet.

Would the transplant recipient be considered a “little” gay now?

Homosexuality... the disease (voluntary) that keeps on giving.

“What idiot wouldn’t already know this.”

A lot of them, or they don’t care. The CDC now want’s to use HIV drugs for prophylaxis because they can’t get the message to use a condom. I wonder if the public understands how much of our medical dollars are going to this one segment of the population?

This is a tragedy arising from the dimwittedness of a jerk who appears/happens to be gay.

The leap made by most posters here is truly unfortunate.

And I’m not defending (or attacking) the donor being gay. To me it’s simply irrelevant.

Not at all irrelevant. Your chances of contracting AIDs from the blood or organs of an sexually active homosexual are manyfold that of a heterosexual donation. Transplants are a bit of a crapshoot anyway, why on earth would anyone want political correctness to increase the risk?

In other news, homo activists insist on lifting a ban on homos giving during blood drives...........

“Why don’t they want to share?” one activist was heard to whine.....

True, but if this gay dude had been a good heterosexual who just happened to also be an IV drug abuser, would that make the system/process/doctors any less negligent?

Exactly.

Hope this results in a HUGE lawsuit against the morons that recruited gays to donate kidneys. Absolutely stupid to let a ‘high risk lifestyle’ person to infect others.

By the way, if homosexuality is “high risk behavior” how exactly is it natural? Shouldn’t we be banning it like cigarettes or at least warning the public of the health effects of engaging in this dangerous lifestyle choice?

If you know the surgery is coming, you can donate blood to yourself.
