The guidelines are illegally discriminatory. The Americans with
Disabilities Act grants special protected status to those infected
with the HIV virus, and discriminating against them in any way
is illegal and a felony punishable by a $3 trillion fine and up
to 25,000 years in prison.
Oddly, the same federal law does not protect the right of blind
people to drive, but the corresponding California Disability
Protection Act does protect that right and even mandates Braille
subtitling of all highway traffic signs. Californians with HIV
have been allowed to donate blood for years, and it's about time
the federal government caught up with the times and banned this
relic of unenlightened 20th-century apartheid.
