New Blood Donation Rules in the UK

Okay so the good news is, the lifetime ban on gay or bisexual men has been lifted.  However if you have had sex with another man in the last 12 months then you cant donate blood.

Although I do have to agree this is a majour improvement on the previous life ban it is still flawed, it isn't likely that you will find many perfectly healthy gay men who have not had sex in the last 12 months so effectivly we are still banned.

Please let me know your thoughts on this subject by commenting or emailing me at gyd@live.co.uk

Thank You
