Well you could get it if your gay partner doesn't have the same moral standards that you have and goes out for a few nights of fun.
The truth is anal sex among even heterosexuals is more dangerous because that orifice wasn't meant for sex. It is not self lubricating and the the tissues tear easier as well as it has things coming out of it, per its original design, that can also causes bleeding. This is what we try to avoid the exchange of blood. No offense, but when you are having anal sex with a group of people that have 50x the infection rate as the rest of the population, you are playing russian roulette.

As stated on the previous page.
That was a CDC ESTIMATE. There is no hard fact to back that up. They are just making up numbers based on statistics and controlled groups. Never has there been a study which targets everybody in any given population.
It's speculation, nothing more.

So because I have a neck I am supposed to look the other way while a potential AIDS victim taints the blood supply? We have enough risks in this world without at least trying to minimize the damage the "gay community" has already done with this dreaded disease.
The CDC and WHO consider the homosexual community the largest threat to the blood supply and that is what this is about. Not some preacher and I doubt that preacher would want a homosexual donating blood for his family so don't confuse the two. Don't confuse tolerance with science.
The homosexual community would use their flawed logic to force the rest of us to allow their AIDS infected population to donate their blood all in the name of political correctness if we let them.
The homosexual community doesn't need anymore influence where logic, reason and science are concerned. They barley know how to use logic and reason as demonstrated in this thread. If it wasn't so laughable it would be absurd...
When AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) began to appear in hemophiliacs and surgical patients in the early 1980s, it was determined that these patients had contracted the disease through donated blood. In 1985, a test was developed to detect HIV—the virus believed to cause AIDS—in blood. Donors are now carefully screened to eliminate any who may be at risk for carrying the AIDS virus. Although the risk of contracting HIV from blood transfusions is remote, some patients who are scheduled to undergo surgery may choose to donate their own blood beforehand, in case a transfusion is necessary.

It is amazing how people will look to the CDC until it disagrees with their lifestyle choices. It is like a drug addict denying the fact that they are more likely to get AIDS or OD or die in an accident. Its just plain denial. Deny Ignorance!
