Link? Oh, you want the link? Just got up and made that first cup but hang on... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7rVln1JaRs After one year of celibacy.

The wait time for Gay men was 1 year. They have just removed that and made it 3 months for both blood and plasma. 3 months i believe is the technical window for most variations of the virus to show up in testing.

I'm not sure why all the pearl clutching. After i received certain vaccines before going overseas i was limited to giving blood before a year had passed. If you have hetero sex you are also supposed to be limited in donating blood.

Risk factors for the gay are high. Pretending they aren't isn't smart. Then again, why bother, men can pretend to be women and vice versa, so i suppose this is a natural progression. I suppose we should provably just go all in loosen restrictions on IV drug users as well.

Whether a month, three months or a year, how would the medics know? Must be the honor system.

They have tests, but that's more on health.

IMO, AIDS is a hoax, in part because it's not universally standardized and varies from nation to nation, among many other reasons.
