Lift the ban on gay and bisexual men from donating blood whilst sexually active

Petition Details

In the UK, men who engage in sexual acts with other men are banned from donating blood, unless they do not engage in these acts for a full 12 months prior to donation.

Additional Information

Men who sleep with men (MSM) are being stigmatised by this rule as being dangerous.

All blood samples used for donation are subject to rigorous testing to ensure that various illnesses, including HIV/AIDs, cannot be transferred to a recipient of blood.

This also draws away from the fact that a promiscuous heterosexual male who has multiple partners is in fact a higher risk of infection than a monogamous homosexual male.

This unjust ban must be lifted if we truly live in a modern society!
