John Kerry calls for the blood of gay men

[Martinus]

Also, for the record, this should again be limited to bottoms (and versatiles). Tops in gay sex do not have a significantly higher chance of getting HIV than hetero guys engaging in sex with women with HIV.

So in short, the risk increasing factors among MSM are:
- ethnic minorities,
- people who engaged in MSM in situations like prisons,
- sex workers,
- people under 30 (people over 30 would be aware they have HIV, and HIV testing is much more widespread among gays than among non-gays), and
- being a bottom.

All this assumes of course that sex was unprotected, but most of the above groups are actually more likely to engage in unprotected sex and/or not get tested so we don't need to factor it in again.

One should build a policy managing this risk taking in account the above factors, rather than banning all MSM from donating blood.

Why would you do that?

Because you were remiss in your responsibility to supply the correct number.

I can see the form now. "Are you a black man who has ever bottomed in unprotected anal sex?"
