Right, but the blood is tested and the instruments we use now are far more precise than they were at the time the original legislation was passed. We could safely have a larger pool of blood donors if the window since they last had sex with a man was reduced.
To my understanding, the window cannot be completely eliminated as there is still a time where HIV wouldn’t be detected by testing. But the window could be made much smaller than it currently is
