One should not comment on another person's math while making the same mistake. That statement supports a ban on heterosexuals just as much as it supports banning gay donations. Even a deferral period is ridiculously putting ideology before medical needs. Oy vey, Joe. One should not comment on another person’s math while making the same mistake.

It's not the other way around. Your post does not support overturning the ban. A statement such as "In 2005, only half of reported HIV transmissions were related to sex between men" is mathematically evidence for supporting the ban. But you have to understand math to understand this. Gay people are putting ideology and bias first on this one. It’s not the other way around.
