Then he saw this guy he knew that was kind of a gay whore donating blood. The most absurd thing about it is that I've heard they test blood for HIV anyway once you have given the blood. |
As stated in the OP there is a window after catching HIV where it cannot be detected in the blood. So while they do test for HIV it is still important to screen out groups that are at a high risk of having contracted HIV recently.
