That doesn't mean it's not homophobic, though. It's still unfair discrimination against MSMs (and women who have had sex with MSMs) because they aren't allowed to donate blood even if they have safe sex. Meanwhile, men who have sex with prostitutes and anyone taking drugs intraveinously can stroll in and they won't be questioned about it.

There is probably a great discrepancy between the aforementioned third of newly diagnosed HIV+ people being MSM, and what percentage of HIV+ blood donated is actually from MSMs who lie to donate.
I agree, I'm just a stickler for accuracy.
