I got back from the Red Cross half an hour ago. They've been calling saying blood is in high demand right now so I figured I'd help. When I got into the doctor's exam room she gave me this test that included a bunch of odd questions which were meant to weed out who could and couldn't give blood
-have you ever been to Africa?
-have you had sex with another male since 1977, even once?
-have you visited the UK recently
So I asked her why ask about Africa and not say, China or Thailand, etc etc etc.
Doctor: We ask about Africa because there's a new strain of HIV spreading there that's incurable
Me: Uh...like every other HIV?
Doctor: Well it's different. Anyway..
I didn't know Africa had an exclusive hold on Super Aids. I'm not a travel czar or anything but I doubt many people go to Africa and have sex with the natives, as compared to (once again) Thailand. I'd go for the safari shit and finding my roots, not to bang people. Oh well
Also I don't see why they don't let gay people give blood. I understand the AIDS risk statistically, but if you're going to discriminate against gays why not discriminate against black women while you're at it (another risk group). If they did that there'd be a huge shit storm but they can get away with shunning gay people which is distinguished mentally-challenged

Africa is pretty bad with the AIDS

didn't you see the documentary Lord of War starring Nicholas Cage? like 50% of women in some parts of Africa have AIDS.

I can't give blood because they asked in like 1999 if I've ever gotten chest pains and I said I used to in Middle School sometimes (which I later found out was due to a drastic change in climate from Tennessee to Texas).
So I tried like 4 years later to give blood and I'm apparently on some "don't accept blood from this dude" list

yea but the same can be said of China. And isn't India #2 on the list of countries with the most people living with AIDS

I hafta agree with demi here.
You're not faking anyone with your stories here, Aries. We're not gullible nfags or distinguished mentally-challenged gaffots.
eh, whatever. if you can give blood the summer is the perfect time imo

They should ask if you had unprotected sex with a Thai girl on the first day of your tour around Asia.

The HIV prevalence rates in China and India are below 1%, while they're over 20% in certain African countries.
Don't accountants have to take statistics courses?

Even if it was, so what? It has the second biggest population in the world--all things being equal it would have the second highest total. Since tourists or visitors don't fuck every single person in a country, the prevalence rate is more important than the total when trying to gauge risk.

PD's completely made up stories :-\
Post that pic of your sister again
