The FDA guidelines on blood donations are today anachronistic and blatantly discriminatory. If you are HIV-negative and you want to donate blood, GO AHEAD AND DONATE. If they ask you if you have ever had sex with other men, say NO. Sure, it's being deceptive about who you are, but the greater evil is not donating blood. The Red Cross is always short of blood. Go ahead, donate, lie if you have to, but the fact is the act of donating blood is a far greater good if you are HIV-negative.
