disgraceful this is still happening in 2016.

taking an unnecessary risk when there is already enough safe donors

ALL the blood that's donated is screened for HIV anyway. It is prejudice. I also worked for the Red Cross.

It's not prejudice it's fact. The Chances of Gay men having a sexually transmitted disease is hugely more likely

can you not read? ALL the blood is screened for HIV no matter WHO donated.

Ever heard of HIV?
