It absolutely astounds me how much people are willing to risk their own lives to be politically correct. Good luck in life.
Or we in the 21st century like to view it, how astounding it is that so many people are willing to risk their own lives because they're bigoted homophobes.

How many people have gotten HIV through a blood transfusion since testing began?
Based on Transmission of HIV by Blood, Blood Products, Tissue Transplantation, and Artificial Insemination the data shows that only three transfusion recipients in 2003 are known to have become HIV infected by transfusion of HIV antibody-negative, p24 antigen-negative, and HIV NAT-negative blood from two different blood donors (among 25 million donations). The risk was deemed 1 in 1.3million units in 2003 - I have a feeling that we have advanced in the past decade to make that risk even slimmer.
Since 1999, the window where HIV could not be detected was 11 days. 11 days. Those of you who are quoting a month (or more - which has never been the case since testing began) are willfully ignorant. You have had 15 years to get up on the science!
If you refuse homosexual blood, you have to refuse ALL blood donations. It's you risking your life, not me.
What? You mean blood takers have been discriminating against the homosexuals all theses years? How insensitive. How ignorant. Shakes head in righteous disgust.

Actually I have had a very nice life and have confidence that, while there will be a few bumps, that my last 20-30 years on this earth will be quiet pleasant.
Thank you for you kindness and concern. I am indeed grateful for your care and support.
I give blood regularly and there are a host of activities which disqualify a person for giving blood.-travel, tattoos, sex with prostitute, living with some who has Hepatitis, etc.etc.

Discrimination is bad!
