Stop blood discrimination
We the undersigned, petition the Government to remove the ban on sexually active men who have sex with men from donating blood. The introduction of the 12 month celibacy period has removed the de jure ban on donation and replaced it with a de facto ban. Therefore we ask for the removal of the ban and a full comprehensive screening solution to be introduced, reducing the risk of infection from any person who may donate blood.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
