Changes to Ban on Gay Men Giving Blood Expected

The Government are expected to reveal changes to the law that stops gay and bisexual men being able to donate blood.

At the moment any man who has ever had sex with another man even with the use of condoms is prohibited from giving blood yet a straight guy can go and have unprotected sex with as many woman as they want everyday and still go and give blood.

According to health minister Anne Milton the issue was currently under consideration.  So hopefully very shortly the ban could be lifted.
