By that logic we should ban blood transfusions all together then as straight and bisexual people can have HIV/AIDS...:eek:  Look STI tests are in place and medical history checked prior to giving blood, I don't feel any more at risk plus the way medical science is progressing we'll have a cure soon. I thought the same thing, but as the link I posted on page 2 shows: black, white, and hispanic men who have sex with men appear to be about 5-7 times more likely to have AIDS/HIV than straight people (except apparently black women, who have it at about half the MSM rate). The 2nd link cites a case where a man donated blood, self-reporting himself HIV-negative and his blood was screened and found to be HIV-negative. Three people who received his blood in transfusions developed HIV after receiving them. It's apparently not reliable enough.
