As a result, if Trista actually DOES have HIV - and it is undetected for even 6 months (though it is factually proven that the HIV virus can go for 3 years before anti-bodies are developed), he could EASILY infect up to or over 50 innocent people with the HIV/AIDS virus.


Now... are you going to defend that sick, deranged behavior as a "supreme form of civil disobedience"? Aren't you FOR trying to keep people from being infected with AIDS?
That proves that it is spread, but I see no evidence refuting that it can go undetected for up to three years. The longest in recent times has been a year, but that was with the subject taking medicine to suppress HIV, which means that they already knew and wouldn't have donated blood anyway.
