Same week that California officially became a "sanctuary state."

Not to mention other wee beasties like E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Cryptosporidium and other intestinal parasites which can be acquired and spread.20% of gay men have HIV. And we haven't even broached syphilis, gonorrhea or chlamydia. Nor the rampant epidemic of relationship violence.
There's nothing "healthy" at all about the gay "lifestyle."
If it's a public health issue as the nimrod state Senator says then giving blood without disclosing they're HIV positive flies in the face of protecting the public health. It would be similar to allowing a child with active measles, chickenpox or mumps to roam the classroom/daycare of unvaccinated children.
I guess Californians all want to die, pretty soon they will be telling people how many virgins they get when they die.
Not informing a blood donor center of your HIV status seems like an odd issue. I work for the local blood lab where HIV-positive blood is immediately identified and eliminated from stock. Aside from an extremely low rate of transmission to lab staff, it's not going to end up on an operating table.
thanks for info
Because it would be wrong to not allow HIV positive people to not be able to donate blood when blood is needed. Even though it is apparently screened and discarded, the emotional distress you would put on an HIV person by excluding them from donating would be horrendous. They would feel more excluded from society and really bad by not being able to help out by donating blood.

My brother (who had hemophilia) acquired HIV through a blood donation in the 80s (as an 8 year old). Back then, it wasn't screened. Today it is (supposedly) but I can't imagine passing any rules that would reduce the controls of protecting our blood supply. In the end, I don't get this legislation at all.
I assume there's a lot of blue in this post.
