No!

**Im O- which means anyone can have my blood, so i give blood often, i don't see why people don't LOL **

I've donated a few times now, and each time it has left a small scar (about 2mm) in the crook of my arm. If this keeps up I'm going to end up looking like I've got track marks on my arm. I dont understand why the needles they use have to be so extrordinarily huge. It may be to get the blood out of you in a hurry, but I'd rather sit an extra 15 mins in the chair and have no scars. Has anyone else experienced this?
-
I'm not allowed to give blood.... not by my choice becuase I would in a heart beat. I'm A- blood type.
-
I'm not sure why they are large. Perhaps the blod might clot and plug the needle if it were too small?
-
Why are you telling people what to do with their bodies? It's Ilegal (Section 22.)I'm too young too donate my blood. I'd rather want it in me anywayss.
-
I'm a blood doner.It's kinda funny when the old nurse puts her arm around me to guide me to the cookie table... after all, I'm 3 times her size so if I happen to collapse, she aint gonna do me much good lol
-
If I remember correctly, they are on the large side because the blood vessels would burst going through a smaller hole and cause the specimen to be hemolysed. If the sample is hemolysed it would cause inaccurate test results.I give blood too. I got a really nice mug the last time I donated.

- "I'd rather want it in me anywayss"You and everyone else. Unfortunatly some people find themselves in situations where it is spilling out of their bodies at a life threatening rate as a result of car accidents etc. That's where blood donors come into play. You may come to understand their necessity (as I did) when someone you love receives a blood donation.

Is it because you're a gay man your blood is not deemed 'acceptable'? If so, we have the same rules here in Ireland, and it has been the subject of some debate recently in the media. There are certain groups of people prohibited from giving blood here, prostitutes and former prostitutes included.Personally I think it is insulting and discriminatory. Clean blood is clean blood regardless how its original owner lives their life or what sort of history they have. If I was dying en route to hospital after a bad accident the only thing I'd give a damn about what that the blood, wherever it came from, was uncontaminated.

Yuppers it's because I'm gay. I think it's crazy and very discriminatory. It’s based on the issue with AIDS in the gay community. Well, statistically AIDS is predominately in the African American population here in the US than in the gay population, yet African American can donate blood. Not to mention they test all blood that is donated, so I again don’t see the point.

omg...im sorry but that is one of the stupidest things i have ever heard...because your gay???!?!?! THATS BULLSHIT!! anyone can have aids nowadays..being gay doesnt mean you should be discriminated against!!!
-
When I am older I might try to donate some blood.
-
First off, your right.
my dad is alive because others gave blood, I had a good guy I know, well worked for get blown up at work, hes alive because of others giving blood, burned like 90% of his body, had he not been shooting that cell on his last day before his vacation, 2 hours before I got to work, I would of been the one shooting it and it would of been me that got covered in molten salt and magnesium.
hes a hell of a good guy, Im glad he made it, partly because others gave blood. Iv gotten a pint or so myself from stupid shit I did and ended up in hospital ERs.
I donate, not as often as I should or even as much as I used to.
Its easy, really isnt very painful, and not even to much in the way of uncomfortable.and it saves peoples lifes.
Blood is safer now then it used to be, its now tested, and they are aware of aids and other shit that can be in it.
They dont like my blood much, so many tats scare the shit out of them, but I havent gotten a new one in a couple of years now, but Im aching to get new inkf, I should go donate some before I do it as you cant donate it for some time after a new tat. -
Ugh.... They check your blood, no matter who you are! they won't let people with AIDS donate. It how it works in Canada.50.6 % of people living with AIDS/HIV are gay men, so it's not really discriminatory, just a safety thing.

Ya know, currently in the US, you dont have to register as gay, its not on your license, nor a chip inbeded in your skin.If you wanted to donate, you could always just go to the red cross, or any of many blood drives that go on each week, and do so, simply do not tell them your gay.How the fuck are they going to know?if its good enough for the military, why not to save peoples lives rather then just for people who get trained in taking them?
