    If the deferral can be changed, based on scientific evidence, without increasing the risk to the safety of the blood supply, then it’s acceptable

    Not even close, eh? Even though he's in agreement with everybody arguing against you in this thread, hmm? More like he's saying they're 'livid', is it? Not like you gave anybody AIDS, whaaaa?

    Or did you use up all your outrage about increased risks already railing against donations by MSM?

    actually I dont have an understanding of Neurology to comment on it in that detail but I look forward to hearing how homosexual bulls out of their heads on Ergot have nothing to do with vCJD ...... and are fine to use as Bonemeal

    He is pointing out that you have failed to differentiate between HIV and AIDS. I might argue that that's unduly harsh, as your meaning was clear and there was so much else wrong with the sentiment that its factuality didn't even need to be questioned, but it did remind me of your fifth post in this thread

    I have never questioned a medial practice ....... because I dont know what one is. However I have been subject of Medical malpractice before and I think all medical practices are open to review for the furthing science but imperical thinking and history should not be forgotten as well.
    where you actually mock efb for missing the 'c' in medical in the very same paragraph as you use the phrase "imperical thinking".

    I would again have thought given your comments below that you would be opposed to any relaxing of rules from groups considered high risk - particularly considering they are at risk from a disease which cannot be screened for when testing blood.
    That is exactly what I said... there is no room for error where blood is concerned. That is also making an unfair comparison there is no need to introduce that risk factor into the process there are plenty of healthy people that can give blood. One of the ideas I had like the kidney doner card ..... To get on the list your whole family have to register on the doner program. Should you enter hospital 5 elligible associates should have to give blood or you have 5 units built up already.
    I Learned not to jump with both feet first, lets let someone else test the water for 5 years first. I have read the Irish times report and it is very ambigious on the Irish Haemophillia societys part and doesnt commit to one side or other. I never said there was no benefit. I would not like to take a professional risk or a personal risk on it. I would not tell a patient it was a definate thing either. I think it is adding a high risk group to the mix that doesnt necessarily need to be there. I think there should be more money spent in trying to atttract more low risk patients and more celebrity endoresments of the service. I believe there are more than sufficent blood stocks out there just give responsible citizens the incentive to donate.

    I would Not support or encourage patients to donate if there were a risk of infection like that. The whole system could collapse very easily. I still know people who feel betrayed after the Hepatitis scandal. The Liberals cry "We can learn", we clearly they didnt and they hushed it up again. No one lost their job, pension or was publicly repremanded.


    At the very least I would have again thought you would look for support from relevant patient groups before the move could be considered acceptable to you - but that appears to be a stipulation you apply to one group only, isn't it.

    I'm using the mobile site so I missed that skooter is not going to be on thread for a while.

    Right so are we agreed that if the report comes back supporting a 1 year waiting period that would be fair?

    I also agree that its unduly harsh.The poster obviously had a vast knowledge on the subject and much of his contributions were from personal experience and spoken from the heart.

    Given his claimed science expertise and condescension towards other posters, it seems perfectly fair..

    I thought petty comments were uncalled for?

    Or is that just when we do it?

    Anyway, for a guy ridiculing others for not having medical qualifications he sure get an awful lot wrong.

    You said he never resorted to personal abuse, there's numerous instances of it so we provided some examples of insulting users while claiming to be an authority.

    Your right there.Of course AIDS is the advanced stage of the HIV virus in the body so AIDS cannot be transmitted in this advanced stage,it must be a progression over time.However its untrue to say that the virus,HIV/AIDS,has not been given from one to another intentionally,

    http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugchasing

    Back in 2003 the San Francisco health services director,Dr Bob Cabaj,is quoted as saying that 25% of all new cases are from this source of infection.This practice cannot be seen as a urban myth etc. as extensive research has been on going now for over 15 years.

    Good work Fran. Keep up the crusade :rolleyes:

    I hope you clear your browsing history though. If anybody ever saw the amount of times you'd searched for lgbt related issues, they might get the wrong idea.

    There you go ..... are they all homophobic too?
    "High risk" not my words. Medical professional, "Double the risk of HIV", "Increased Donation of HIV blood in Australia"

    Why gay men?
    "the IBTSB clearly state that a 12 month deferal will not protect you from any NEW infectous agent".

    "New infectous agent come along all the time, Hepatitis E , vCJD, H5N1, SARS, West Nile, Ebola and XMRV "

    Another example of shamelessly biased reporting from RTE,basically saying there is risk already there so hell lets just open the floodgates in the name of delusional equality.The amount of times he interrupted the man was embarrassing from our national broadcaster.
    The only view I have been able to ascertain from the other side of this debate is yes,you are a homophobe if you disagree with homosexuality in any way,shape or form.
    The facts always have and always will speak for themselves on this matter,lets just hope our minister for health acknowledges them.

    To be Honest Fran I found the Irish Times to be worse. As they "patched" the IBTS directors quotes together and came out with a different conclusion. The Haemophiliac Society are meeting with the minister tomorrow and the kidney Association are having their AGM the end of the week. I actually didnt realise that there are 16 of the original Haemophiliacs still alive. I wonder if they have opinions on the matter?
    I have no problems with Gay men or women but I think the 80's and 90's are still fresh in other peoples minds. Plus luckily the Ebola scare was contained. I never asked questions about itor critised anyone. I just prayed for the poor souls involved in it

    Well Dr James Reilly said 50% of all new infections are coming from 3% of the population. This is suggesting that the problem is getting worse. The sample you are suggesting is from San Francisco. This is over 10 years later which is suggesting that the problem is getting exponentially worse. I thought in the last few years thing were starting to get better but with unrestricted policing in the last 10 years of South West Asia, the opium trade has boomed and the NATO armies are doing nothing to tackle growers. Hence all the cheap heroin in our streets.
