STILL THE HOMOSEXUALS PUSH FOR THE RIGHT TO DONATE BLOOD.

THEIR ACTIVIST LEADERS TELL THEM TO LIE ABOUT THEIR HIV STATUS.

Excerpts From:
The risk of HIV transfusion through infected blood products exceeds
that of any other risk exposure. Ninety percent of recipients
transfused with HIV antibody-positive blood are found to be HIV
infected at follow-up.(1) No HIV-infected but persistently seronegative
transfusion recipients have been identified. The 90% probability of
seroconversion is independent of the age or sex of the recipient, the
reason for transfusion, and the type of component transfused (excluding
washed red blood cells, which transmit HIV at a lower rate).(13)

Of all transfused patients, half die within 6 months after transfusion
from the underlying disease that necessitated the transfusion.
Currently, cases involving transfusion of HIV-positive blood do not
increase the overall 1-year posttransfusion mortality rate of
recipients in the United States. In Zaire, however, patients transfused
with HIV-positive blood are 31% more likely to be dead 1 year after
transfusion than are patients transfused with HIV-negative blood.(15)
This difference is unexplained but emphasizes the importance of
screening blood for HIV in developing countries.
