A lifetime ban on gay and bisexual men from giving blood is under review, following calls from campaigners that the policy is unfair and misplaced. So which groups are prevented from donating on grounds of sexual behaviour?
I am unsure of anyone bar Nobby who could answer, but I was wondering in this news article if the following (underlined) was true
Quote:
Condoms reduce the risk of infection but don't eliminate it, they say, and men who have sex with men account for 63% of HIV diagnoses where the infection was likely to have been acquired in the UK. The risk of HIV-infected blood entering the blood supply would increase five-fold if the ban was lifted.
Bigotry or fact?
