"You should not give blood if you have AIDS or have ever had a positive HIV test, or if you have done something that puts you at risk for becoming infected with HIV. "
"You are at risk for getting infected if you: "
"are a male who has had sexual contact with another male, even once, since 1977" SOURCE
