Two Contract HIV From Donation

Because the media is controlled by Liberals and they never report anything that will make the Saintly Gays look bad.

If the media had been allowed to touch the Story, news of the Tainted Blood Scandal might actually have SAVED the lives of many homosexuals ... and prevented also the infection and deaths rampant among innocent hemophiliacs, adults and children alike.

Instead, homosexuals were far more valuable as martyrs and useful idiot political harpies intent on "forcing" the goverment to CONTINUE funding the exact Private Entities that were responsible for the Crisis in the first place.

(As if the government weren't pleased as punch to oblige our every Demand for money, Choice and Security these days.)

Here in the Land of the Free, we don't get the press coverage the rest of the world gets as Japan actually imprisons government ministers, France convicts (if not sentences) theirs and blood trail investigations are ongoing throughout Europe and the UK. Probably because ... as the headwaters of prisoner blood plasma -- Louisiana and Arkansas pumping away through 1994 -- we're likewise more use as Righteous Useful Idiots cluck-clucking about homoseculars and those stupid blacks and their spade kick ways dying in droves in Africa.

Americans being quite content to shout down the dying and their "Gay" disease.

Title is no good. Very misleading.

They got it from transfusion. They received blood, did not donate it.

Agreed about the title.

Not that there aren't better stories for prompting a full investigation of the history of HIV and Hep-C infection thanks to the shoddy practices of our nation's prison bleed programs.

My point had nothing to do with queers. My point had to do with the fact that the blood supply has become much safer over the years. Of course homo's should not be allowed to donate. My point had to do with the fact that there have only been two confirmed cases of HIV transmission from blood transfusions since 1999. An amazingly low stat.

[TBall]

If at all possible I would use my own blood. Absolutely.

"If at all possible I would use my own blood. Absolutely."

Agreed.

But there are a lot of people (myself included) who cannot use pre-operative autologous donation because of low haemoglobin count.

"Of course homo's should not be allowed to donate." I have a minority opinion on this topic, which is that a minority of homosexuals should be allowed to donate, and a minority of heterosexuals should be banned. The blood banks ask all those questions (such as, for women, "have you had sex with a bi-sexual man since 1977? ... ") But everyone is too namby pamby to ask the real question. Have you ever had anal sex? That is the issue. Most homosexuals have. Some straights have. And these are dangerous donors. Not just for AIDS but other blood borne diseases as well.

Four members of my family are required because of high Iron levels in their blood to donate once a month, but with a DR's prescription. I am required to donate every 3 months. We donate to a center that does not pay for donations

My point had to do with the fact that there have only been two confirmed cases of HIV transmission from blood transfusions since 1999. An amazingly low stat.

Your point seems to be blissfully ignorant of the fact that homosexualists are pushing to have their high risk behavior removed from the screening process.

And, unless I misread the story, this adds 2 more cases to the transmission rate.

A low stat, unless you gave a crap about those infecteted.

Yes, a low stat, and completely avoidable, except for risk takers who share those risks with the rest of us.

The donor gave infected blood on May 11, but had contracted the disease so recently that tests did not detect it, said German LeParc, chief medical officer for the blood bank. The virus takes seven to 10 days to build up sufficiently for detection.

Since the military has made homosexuality illegal they often are forced to defend their decision.

On the battlefield, much of the donated blood comes from ones own buddies. The above is one of the major, but unspoken, reasons why the military discharges homosexuals.

For the same reasons, they should rescind "don't ask don't tell" and return to "unqualified."

Weren't there reports that Howard Hughes might have died of AIDS? And he died in 1976.

[backhoe]

Glad you picked up the story from Free Dominion.

[Contra]

Oh, I thought this headline said "two contract HIV from Donahue." Thought it might be a promo for his new show.

[Freebird Forever]

My little sister, a USAF RN, has informed me that she would refuse a blood transfusion herself and has suggested if one is ever recommended to me that I should look into the following as alternatives:

saline solution
dextran
Haemaccel
lactated Ringer's solution
Hetastarch (HES)

Could someone in the know comment on the efficacy of these substances?

[Freedom4US]

I understand it's prudent to 'bank' our own blood for elective surgery, but what about emergencies? Blood doesn't keep very well I wouldn't think. Is that possible?

[AuntB]

Oh, I could go on for hours about this one....but, I'll save you from it and give ya a bump.

[nicmarlo]

Experts said the chance of getting HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, from donated blood is one in 2 million to 3 million transfusions, and they stress that the nation's blood supply remains very safe

So, this is "very safe," ONLY one in 2 to 3 million will get HIV. How do you know if you draw that number? Oh, they'll tell you after you got it from the blood.
