I don't understand why they don't just get all the blood they can, and then test it all, rejecting the bad blood.

They say they test it all for HIV and hepatitis anyway before they use it, so what's the problem?

# HIV tests aren't very accurate
And it can take months to show anything even though you may be HIV positive.

# You'd think that they could easily just not allow
anyone who has had unprotected sex during the previous x months (however long it takes to have an accurate result) from donating, regardless of sexuality.

I'm sure if they phrased their rules better then they could still block people who are high-risk without appearing homophobic.
