Gay & Bisexual men to have same rights as heterosexual people to donate blood

Petition Details

Gay & bisexual men cannot give blood if have had sex in the last 12 months even with contraception.

Additional Information

All blood is tested & there is nothing stopping people lying about the info they give so why is this rule in place. People living with HIV who were exposed through heterosexual sex are the largest group in the U.K. NOT gay/bi men!
