Why?
Possibly paranoia about HIV/AIDS or something like that?

I found 'dangerous sexual activity' or something on their website, but it didn't mention gay sex... There's a difference between being gay and having unprotected gay sex :-/ I also wonder what the statistics are about increased risk do to someone being gay (assuming for exmaple they have only 1 partner). A guy who sleeps around with a ton of women is at a much higher risk than most gay guys, I'd think. Seems like bs. | ||

For this I expect they'd make an exception and just test me for HIV because obviously my blood is worth the time. | ||
