| MrBubbles said: additionally the laws are stupid. because anyone can just lie about their sexual activity when giving blood. and those most at risk are the "straight" guys, the kinds that oppress and deny themselves, then end up in risky situations like having sex in public bathrooms or parks. the kinds that also arent likely to admit they fuck guys and perhaps even would use the blood donation system to secretly get themselves then tested. how do these laws protect against these people? people in this thread are talking like every third gay person has aids and they all get together for giant community orgies every weekend. im sure that stds are of greater concern to the average sexually active homosexual than they are to the average sexually active heterosexual who almost always only use a condom to prevent pregnancy. and last i saw about STD rates in the US they were most prevalent among straight young black women. so i guess we should just ban black people as well. at least they cant lie about that one. the system doesnt get enough donations to just exclude perfectly perfectly healthy responsible people. |
The laws are outdated, yes. Stupid, not at the time they were written.
And there are clinics where the men you speak of can get tested for free, and in secret too.
