Don't play the fool. That's not just me. The whole modern medicine considers you (gays) dangerous for normal people. Don't believe me? Go to a nearest clinic, tell them you had sex with another homo yesterday and then try to donate your blood as a donor. The doctors will tell you to get lost for at least a year. Guess why?

The FDA guidance “Revised Recommendations for Reducing the Risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Transmission by Blood and Blood Products” states, “Defer for 12 months from the most recent sexual contact, a man who has had sex with another man during the past 12 months.” All U.S. blood collection organizations must follow this federal requirement.
Based on several years of research and recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the FDA’s decision to change the blood donation policy for men who have had sex with other men (MSM) from a lifetime deferral to 12-month deferral is consistent with other selection criteria that are used to safeguard the blood supply from equivalent risks. At present, there are insufficient scientific data available to determine whether it is safe to rely only on individual behavioral risk factors when determining donation eligibility. The Red Cross continues to work with the FDA and our blood industry partners to gather additional scientific risk data to assist the FDA in determining if further changes are warranted in the future.
A first time donor, whose last MSM contact was greater than 12 months ago, may be eligible to donate blood. The Red Cross encourages individuals to learn more about MSM blood donation criteria and blood donation eligibility.
