  1. There's a period of time on initial infection of HIV that your body hasn't made enough antibodies or any to HIV. Its about 3 months until antibodies show, and antibodies is what is used to determine infection. I'm bi. I can understand the restriction. Should probably exist with straight people too who are sexually active. That they're either in a closed relationship or haven't had sex for period of 6 months after testing negative. Its that window that makes everybody at risk of getting blood that has HIV from transfusion.
