L.esbians, because they rarely have sexual contact with men, are among the groups least likely to carry the vi rus linked with AIDS, said Dr. Peter Drotman, chief epidemiologist for the AIDS program at the Center For Disease Control in Atlanta. Most of the Dallas group of lesbi ans are members of the predomi nantly gay Metropolitan Community Church. “When the AIDS thing came along, we said, ‘Here’s something we can do,’ ” said church secretary Sue .Schraeder. Homosexual and bisexual men represent nearly three-fourths of the more than 14,000 victims of AIDS in the nation. Researchers believe acquired im mune deficiency syndrome is trans mitted through the exchange of body fluid in intimate sexual contact and through blood products or tainted intravenous needles. Local food bank, churches will trick-or-treat for charity The women’s group has opened a separate account at the Wadley Blood Bank, but has kept a low pro file about their project. The women pass along a number that designates the blood they give to an account for the 540-member church. The number allows the women to give blood without reveal ing their affiliation.
