I haven't read anything that indicates that there is a time and cost effective test that can detect HIV in blood during the 2 week window period.

That being said, I've never taken a stand on the morality or efficacy of questionnaires (and I definitely don't support a lifetime ban, neither does the red cross by the way).

I do however, think that labeling a public health policy as hateful is counter productive.

Hateful implies that the doctors and policy makers who instituted the ban hate men who have sex with men (as well as IV drug users, sex workers, and people from high risk countries). I don't think that's true.
