The 1-year deferral for “gay” sex is, not surprisingly, not good enough for the activist fags. They want absolute comparability to other people, those who pose very little to NO risk to the blood supply.
Homo-sex is a MAJOR vector for the transmission of HIV. Infections are not detectable during a window of between two weeks to several months, the occult infection period.
Homos want to be able to donate during this occult infection period.
Does anyone else remember hearing a radio interview of a homosexual activist, back in the early 80s I think, in which he encouraged homosexuals to donate blood? He said that only by making AIDS a threat to the straight community would research on it be sufficiently funded.
