  • Thanks that was on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't remember and it was reaaally annoying me.

  • That'd be Queen - We Are The Champions

  • What's the tune at :57?

  • ok funny

  • Not to mention that if you disregard all of Africa, considering you cant even give blood if you been to Africa, the transmission rate is mostly from Male to Male sexual contact. AVERT is an international AIDS charity and THEY SAY THAT > 50% of the transmissions are the result of Male/Male.

  • avert[.]org. Even if your numbers are correct that 15% is a big risk. Keep in mind they are not discriminating against gays. Any risk equals a deferral.

    * Illegal IV drugs

    * Men who have had sexual contact with other men since 1977

    * Men and women who have engaged in sex for money or drugs since 1977

    * Anyone who has had hepatitis since his or her eleventh birthday

    * Anyone who spent three months or more in the UK from 1980-1996

    * Anyone who has spent five years in Europe since 1980

  • You are completely and utterly wrong. An est 25 mil people have died from HIV/AIDs since 1983. The great majority have been from sub-Saharan Africa. A very small proportion of these are from male to male transmission. Over 2 million children have died and these are almost all the results of transmission from the mothers in pregnancy or during birth. The overall worldwide modes of transmissions, according to WHO's studies, is less than 15% transmission via male to male homosexual contact.

  • been a blood donor for a while now, only found out about World Blood Donor Today lol.

  • It'd be irresponsible for me not to give blood, I have a very rare type :o

  • I think the blood banks are discriminatory but this does not make it right that you lie about it.

    I think it is irresponsable on your part to lie like that.
