I mean, come on, "Are a man who has had sex with another man since 1977, even once"

Really?  I mean, I know my blood is clean.  As opposed to every straight friend I have, I get my blood tested for disease, every few months.  As does my magnanimous partner.  



Woah I was not even aware this was a thing still. That's disgusting. As long as they are tested there should be no issues.

The tests look for anti-bodies. What are anti-bodies? They are created by your immune system to fight off viruses. If you have anti-bodies of whatever in you're system, it means that you have effectively fought off the virus. This is basic 6th grade science... why is the most basic & obvious discarded? For Profits... that''s why!
