Ban on gay blood donors upheld by panel

[KrazyHorse]

The chance of getting HIV while being a top in anal sex is no different than vaginally, far as I know

It goes: bottom > top = receive vaginal > penetrate vaginal

the > are each a factor of 5 or so

[Asher]

no too much

[KrazyHorse]

receive oral is probably less dangerous than give oral (especially if swallowed) but there are no reasonable statistics on either, as the risks are so low

[DRoseDARs]

That would be one ****ing awesome survey

1) Do you have sex
2) How often do you have sex
3) Who do you have sex with
4) DO YOU TAKE IT UP THE ASS?

While it would be a great setup for cheap laughs, I believe I've read that the actual question that would be asked is something along the lines of "Have you engaged in homosexual relations since 1977?"

[KrazyHorse]

no too much

?

[SlowwHand]

But it still goes back to behavior not orientation.

[Asher]

?

I edited out the joke. Was too un PC

One of the main problems in the gay community is lack of self respect and self esteem. A long time ago I met some really young guys (ALL LEGAL) who explicitly wanted only unprotected sex. It's psych 101 for self-destructive behaviour when they feel worthless

also ****ing creepy

[KrazyHorse]

When young women do that they end up taking themselves out of circulation by getting pregnant.

Autoimmune reaction by the hetero community

[Asher]

They call it the Arkansas effect

While it would be a great setup for cheap laughs, I believe I've read that the actual question that would be asked is something along the lines of "Have you engaged in homosexual relations since 1977?"

That is, more or less, exactly what they ask. Except, if I remember correctly, they add: "even once?"

I'll write it down at my next appointment.

If we're going based on activity (anal sex), then shouldn't it be based on the bottom?

The chance of getting HIV while being a top in anal sex is no different than vaginally, far as I know

Many gay men are exclusively tops

I thought it was easy for a top to get HIV or AIDS if he's dumb enough not to use a condom.

What if there is a microscopic scratch or cut on a guy's ****?

And since there is a greater rate of HIV infection among blacks and Hispanics, why not ban donated blood from those people too?

[Heraclitus]

Their rate of infection is lower I believe. If it was higher I think people wouldn't mind such a common sense ban.

[Also where do you get the Hispanic figures? I tought it was just Blacks and that Mexicans get about as much of it as poor whites]
