FDA moves to ease restrictions on blood donations for men who have sex with men
January 27, 2023

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued proposed guidance Friday to ease restrictions on blood donations by men who have sex with men.

The change is expected to take effect after a public comment period.

The restrictions on donating blood date back to the early days of the AIDS epidemic and were designed to protect the blood supply from HIV. Originally, gay and bisexual men were completely prohibited from donating blood. Over time, the FDA relaxed the lifetime ban, but still kept in place some limits.

Under the current policy — last updated in 2020 — men who have sex with men can donate blood if they haven't had sexual contact with other men for three months.

The new proposed policy would eliminate the time-based restrictions on men who have sex with men (and their female partners) and instead assess potential donors' eligibility based on a series of questions that assess their HIV risk, regardless of gender. Anyone taking medications to treat or prevent HIV, including PrEP, would not be eligible.

The risk assessment would include questions about anal sex. Potential donors who've had anal sex in the last three months with a new sexual partner or more than one sexual partner would not be eligible to give blood.

The changes are aimed at addressing criticism that the current policy is discriminatory and outdated, as well as one more barrier to bolstering the nation's blood supply. Blood banks already routinely screen donated blood for HIV.

In crafting the new guidance, the FDA has been looking to the results of a study of about 1,600 gay and bisexual men to develop screening questions that can identify potential donors who are most likely to be infected with HIV.

For many years, the American Medical Association, the American Red Cross and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups have been pushing for a change to the federal rules on blood donations.

"It's a discriminatory policy that assumes that HIV is a gay disease, and it is very much not," Tony Morrison from the group GLAAD, told NPR in December. "This is what we have been advocating for for many, many years."

Those sick bastards with GRIDS will donate blood every chance they get to spread their phaggot disease.

Muglia can sell his ragu for extra bucks now.

LOL

Maybe there is money to be made selling 'No Gay Blood' bracelets.
A tatoo might be a better idea, before ya unknowingly get refilled with gay juice.

It's very much a pervert disease, however, which is what phags are. They don't get HIV from just one or two encounters, they have to get multiple episodes of STDs before their immune system is compromised enough to contract HIV.

Just another way to control population. Let a group of people who contract the hiv virus at an extremely high rate compared to normal people, give blood. Awesome. Hope and pray any of us dont need blood. Between the poison shot and now gays, good luck

I didn't know that, so you figure butt sex just a couple times is OK huh? I think he's been lying to you.

I wonder if gay blood looks like a rainbow?

Other than intestinal parasites, cancer-causing warts, all letters of hepatitis, HPV, TB, perforated colons, meningitis, scabies, campylobacter, syphilis, etc., etc. and etc., yeah, it might be OK. /sarc

Outside of someone who lives & eats from a dump, there's probably not a more pathogen infested population.


Not that there's anything wrong with living at the dump, Nugget.

I hereby promise not to cornhole any of my buddies for a month or two ..........I would you like to give more blood.... thank you

Well if you claim to only accept Pureblood (unvaxed blood) that should get you 90% clear..

if us normal people give blood free we should be able to decide what kind of people and/or maybe race to get our blood, i sure don`t want those camel humpers / towel heads getting my blood or brokeback riders! nor do i want theirs either.

That's a whole nother can of worms.

I'm still pondering on how you'll know if the blood they give you is gay or not?

Maybe if after you get home from a surgery you start noticing your neighbors ass is kinda shapely when he's out mowing his yard?

It'd be for sure if you suddenly had the urge to trade your pickup in on a Subaru Outback...

We’re done.

Done.
