[font=Verdana,Sans-serif]"Under these rules, a heterosexual man who had unprotected sex with HIV-positive prostitutes would be OK as a donor one year later, but a gay man in a monogamous, safe-sex relationship is not OK unless he's been celibate for five years," said Leland Traiman, director of a clinic in Alameda, Calif., that seeks gay sperm donors."

[font=Verdana,Sans-serif]This is where it becomes stupid. If they're going to worry about HIV, they should screen (which I'm pretty sure they do already.) If they're screening like they ought to be then anyone ought to be able to give blood, and if they're going to exclude someone then they ought to exclude those who regularly sleep with prostitutes rather than someone who says he's been in a monogamous relationship for a long time.
