US ends “discriminatory” ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that the agency has finalised a new policy that will allow more gay and bisexual men to donate blood in the US.

Under the updated guidelines, all potential donors will have to take individualised risk assessments – regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

Anyone who has had anal sex with a new sexual partner, or partners, in the past three months will be deferred. The FDA said this was in a bid “to reduce the likelihood of donations by individuals with new or recent HIV infection who may be in the window period for detection of HIV by nucleic acid testing.” Those taking HIV prevention drug PrEP would also be rejected as, despite being safe and effective, “their use may delay detection of HIV by currently licensed screening tests for blood donations, which may potentially give false negative results.” READ MORE: PrEP: 5 questions about the HIV prevention drug answered “As stated in the guidance, individuals should not stop taking their prescribed medications, including PrEP, or PEP, in order to donate blood,” the agency continued. “The FDA remains committed to evaluating additional data and new technological developments as they become available to inform our donor eligibility recommendations.” The changes mean that most gay and bisexual men in monogamous relationships will no longer need to abstain from sex to donate blood.

Previously, men who have sex with men would only be allowed to donate blood if they hadn’t had sex with another man for at least three months.
