Posted @withregram • @gaytimes Blood donation ru

Posted @withregram • @gaytimes Blood donation rules have FINALLY been relaxed for gay and bisexual men in the UK.⁠
⁠
Under previous rules, gay and bisexual men have not been permitted to donate unless they’ve abstained from sex for three months, being treated as too risky to donate.⁠
⁠
This archaic rule will now change, with the government introducing an individualised risk-based policy, which has been called the “most forward-thinking policy for gay and bisexual men in the world”.⁠
⁠
Donors, regardless of gender or sexuality, will now be allowed to donate unless they’ve had anal sex with a new or more than one person in the past three months. ⁠
⁠
These changes will be implemented by Summer 2021.⁠
⁠
Dr Michael Brady, Medical Director at Terrence Higgins Trust, welcomed the change. ⁠
⁠
In a statement, he said: “Our first priority must always be to ensure the safety of the blood supply in the UK.⁠
⁠
“We welcome this move to a more individualised risk assessment approach for any potential donor, which both maximises the number of people who can donate while ensuring the blood supply is safe.⁠
⁠
“Eligibility to donate blood will now be based on the behaviours identified as being at highest risk of infection, rather than gender or sexuality. This means the removal of the three month deferral period for gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men.⁠
⁠
“Welcome changes include the differentiation between oral and anal sex, and for those whose partner is HIV positive and virally suppressed due to six months or more of adherence to treatment.”⁠
