The reason why people who are skinny or underweight have trouble donating blood is because they do not have enough iron. I was 110 pounds at the time when I was first trying to donate blood and was rejected many times because I did not have enough iron and was only able to donate once at that weight. After I gained 40 pounds due to the meds, my iron is a lot higher. I don't know what your weight is, but have you ever tried donating blood and seeing how much iron you have?

so are you insinuating that all gay men are hiv-positive? I know some guys who are gay and they're perfectly normal. Not to be mean or anything, but I don't think that all gay men are promiscuous. They have lives too. What you see in Hollywood is really a stereotypical version of reality. I mean, why can't he be a celibate gay man?
