If so then how many of those donations would give the recipient the communicable disease?? If you loose a lot of donations because people test positive for HIV then you shouldn't have used those donations in the first place. It would be so much safer for everyone. There's a lot more people out there who have communicable diseases than just Gays with Aids.

The lost donations would be because it would be much harder to donate fluid or tissue under the more complicated (donate and test 6 months later) system.
Second, not all fluids and tissues can be preserved for 6 months, or if they can that's 6 months less shelf life on them.
