An Indiana man said he tried to donate blood at a donation center but was turned away because appeared to be gay.

Gary, Ind. resident Aaron Pace said he’s straight, but was told during the interview screening process at Bio-Blood Components Inc. that because of his looks, mannerisms and character, he “appear[ed] to be gay,” and would not be permitted to donate.
“I was humiliated and embarrassed,” Pace told the Chicago Sun-Times. “It‘s not right that homeless people can give blood but homosexuals can’t. And I’m not even a homosexual.”
The blood center did not return the Sun-Times’ requests for comment, but according to a Food and Drug Administration policy implemented in 1983, men who have had sex with another man, even once, since 1977 are not permitted to donate. The policy was put in place during the AIDS crisis amid fears that HIV could spread through blood donations.
Today, all donated blood is screened for infectious diseases, including HIV, yet the ban remains in place due to the “increased risk for the presence of” HIV among men who have sex with men. Last year, the Department of Health and Human Services voted against recommending a change to the FDA policy.

Posted on July 17, 2011 at 2:55pmFirst I am sick and tired that the Homosexuals abducted the word “gay” to describe them. That word was and still is a wonderful word, even used by Shakespeare in writing his plays. Now no one dares mention that word for it has metamorphed into describing Homosexuals.
The workers of this clinic should have been fired for their behavior for it endangers the rest of us. Even if this man were Homosexual it does not automatically mean he has the AIDS virus. Statistics show that this virus is spreading among drug uses who used tainted needles to the Heterosexual population. Take the case of the Hispanic population where women have complained for far too long that the Hispanic men refuse to wear protection as it is a sign against their man hood .

Posted on July 17, 2011 at 4:10pmThe big lie was from Time magazine years ago “This is the Face of Aids” A White young blond female. Meaning you need to take this seriously because it not only affects gays but will also lead to an epidemic among heteros. Never happened. No epidemic but you got tons of gov funding to fight the disease for a small portion of society. The Left never apologizes for these super gaffs, they just move on to doing more damage. As for the guy mistaken for being gay….too bad. Get over it and move on with your life. Everybody is wronged at some point in their lives in the most simplest ways these days and it turns into a major travail where we are all expected to stop and do a self examination of our own conscious to make sure we are not in league with the thinking that sparked this civil concern.

Posted on July 17, 2011 at 10:50pmYou obviously don’t understand how this works do you? He was apparently metro and appeared for all intents and purposes ****. That means that he is not allowed to donate under FDA regulations. Unfortunately the FDA exists, so we have to live with it for now. There are far more obscure and obscene restrictions than the one this man faced. Such as the fact that if you visited the UK and stayed for any longer than about a week or two in a certain time frame, they won’t take your blood. That has kept more than one military service member from being able to donate. Also, I wasn’t allowed to donate until about 2 years after my return from Iraq. There are alot of things that screen people from being able to donate blood and they are still able to get the amount that they need.
If you really want to get into it with me on this, I would rather the entire system be scrapped and allow for people to sell blood again. We have the tech now to register nationwide when, where, and how frequently people give blood, so a person draining themselves should not be a problem anymore. That would allow for even more stringent screenings, a cleaner supply, and a higher stock of blood. After all, the hospital sells it to you, why shouldn‘t you be allowed to sell yours to them when you don’t need it?

Posted on July 17, 2011 at 10:59pmI know this is a tabloid, and this story doesn’t ring true. There are a whole lot of references to not accepting blood from anyone who has had a single homosexual encounter from the donation center and it seems to me they are being very careful not to release confidential information. And yet, it seems to me, tell their story.
There’s a lot of weird comments on this thread. Seriously folks, get over the homophobia. There are no more or fewer homosexuals today than there have ever been. Kids growing up today simply don’t care. You can take your fears of gays and Muslims and Catholics and whatever else to your grave. That’s fine. And you can also invest your money in slide rules and horse buggies.

Posted on July 18, 2011 at 2:45amBernard, there are several very good reasons why hospitals don’t want to give AIDS blood to someone dying from a bullet wound. The first is that its the wrong thing to do. The second is that, after saving the person’s life, they would turn around and sue the hospital (and rightly so). Injecting people with deadly viruses is, you know, criminally reckless.

Posted on July 18, 2011 at 8:49amYou could stockpile your own blood before an operation, but blood has a very short shelf life so its not like you could set some back “just in case”.
As a blood donor I know these screeners are doing their best to protect the blood supply. Right or wrong the law says no blood from **** males. the screening process involves a questionare for the potential donor to fill out. The screener then reviews the form and uses their best judgment.
Report Post »Lets say someone comes in to donate and they answer the form stating that they have not or do not use IV drugs. But the screener can see track marks on the persons arm.
Would you want them to take the blood or use their best judgment?
I would rather them err on the side of caution when they are dealing with blood that could end up in my veins or the veins of my child.

Posted on July 17, 2011 at 2:30pmWhat the hell is wrong with people? Every drop of blood must be screened. I don’t care if it was given by a nun. My cousin was a hemopheliac and died of AIDS from a tainted blood transfusion before they screened the blood. I’ve known plenty of straight guys and gals who will screw just about anyone willing to give them the time of day. It is nearly as likely today that someone who is straight can have the disease. This is just stupidity, plain and simple. Blood is valuable from whoever is willing to give it.

There should be one question: Do you believe and have you treated your body as a temple?

Really, the only safe transfusion is from tested family and friends, and where possible donating your own blood in advance of operations etc, then releasing it to the general supply when not needed or before expiration.
With disease entering the “superbug” era, I forsee the day that a “clean” donor will be worth his/her weight in Gold.
