I think that it's important to point out that gays are not the only people who are not allowed to donate blood. I can't because of my travels as well as my tattoos and piercings.

I think all these rules are stupid because I know I'm clean and always have been.

Then again, it's just discriminating against groups of high risk. That's all it has to do with really, statistics. And Ustwo is correct, you don't test positive for HIV right when you get it so there's really no way they could easily test everyone.

I don't like the idea of whole groups of people not being allowed to donate blood because we all know how much it's needed but I can understand why they do it. I don't think it's worth banning a campus blood drive over.
