infected with any sexually transmitted diseases when he lied about
having sex with men on a donor-screening questionnaire…Freeman
is suing the agency, claiming he didn't answer the question truthfully

ever had sex with other men, even once, since 1977. The
discovery Freeman had syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease that can
damage the heart, brain and eyes if left untreated, was made only after
Canadian Blood Services screened his donated blood."
