Only one question!

There was no way to prove their answer when the question was 12 months.

Of course.

As all blood donations get screened anyway, it's just a self-regulating way (the donor's) of avoiding blood donations being unnecessarily futile by being screened and rejected.

Yes they are screened, but Hiv and the aids virus can take a long time to show up in tests, and there is only so long you can keep blood, so there is a big chance that mistakes can be made.

Is that fact?

Why not keep all the blood that gay people donate for gay people?

As we know, only gay people can have aids or HIV so the rest of the blood is definitely safe.

So are you suggesting that they sometimes play Russian Roulette by not waiting for that period of time for the virus to show up because the blood can only be kept for a certain period of time?
What is the time exactly for the virus to show up? - surely there has to be a set time-scale when it WILL show up and therefore surely they HAVE to wait for that time .... otherwise what's the point of screening?

They can't rely on the time calculations of a high risk donor and take their word as gospel when they last had sex?
