I don’t get this. Are gays in the UK registered as such? How the hell would anyone know a donor is gay? And isn’t donated blood screened for aids anyway?

That aids is detectable in blood is largely a myth. When a person is tested for aids the questions they answer before they take the test are most of the input on the diagnosis, this is true.

Hmmm excellent point. What about the closet homos? They can be donating today for all we know.

Screened for AIDS but AFAIK it can slip through the cracks since even those infected may not show up positive for some time.
