Just remember why it was banned in the first place...

In the US, HIV prevalence among homosexuals who donate are 15 times higher than the general populace. It is very sad such measures must be taken, but I have yet to hear any sort of logical alternative to unfortunate bans.
Sapphi, I'd take a look at the study given in regards to medical practices in Romania. In your country, over 10,000 babies were infected with HIV from 1987 to 1992 due to lack of screening and accepting blood from everyone. Do you really want such kinds of numbers to be visited again if bans are lifted wholesale?
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
