[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"] >They test all the blood Yes, but the tests are not 100% accurate. [QUOTE="foxhound_fox"] >Heterosexuals can get and transmit HIV as easily as homosexualsNot really true; anal sex is more likely to transmit HIV. As a result, HIV is significantly more common among gay men. Despite this, though, the number of lives saved through a decrease in stale blood transfusions dwarfs the increased number of HIV infections resulting from transfusion, so it would still be best to lift the ban entirely.
[QUOTE="sonofsmeagle"] science is nothing short of a great thing, but there are some people who get behind it so bad that they will accept any Theorys made by some scientists as fact just because it was a scientist who said it, As i have said before you can compare some scientists and their theorys to the christian Apostles and their ideals and statements.sonofsmeagle
Are you refeering to Germ theory? Upon which a lot of medical advancements are based on.
Or the theory of gravity that tries to explain how gravity works?
Or is it a specific theory you have issues with because of some other reason?
oh i'd say the Theory of Evolution in Man, You don't know what a scientific theory is.
Dependent on whether or not there is any noticeable increase in HIV between gay men and straight men.Overlord93
There is, but the increase in risk to the person recieving the transfusion is so negligible that if the ban were lifted, thousands of lives would be saved for every extra HIV infection that slipped through the net.
