LONDON (AP) - British health officials say they will lift the ban on gay men donating blood _ as long as their last sexual contact with another man was more than one year ago.
The U.K. health department said Thursday the change would be implemented in November after a new review found no evidence to support the ban.

Fools.
ReplyDeleteYeah, they're lifting the ban because gay men have not been a leading transmitter of HIV for over a decade.
ReplyDeleteSo what's with the obsession with gays on this blog? Somehow, I doubt that there's a spirit of supporting the civil liberties of our gay brothers and sisters on here?
i'm not a homophobe, but this policy was put in place for a reason. If i ever needed some blood, i pray it didn't come from a fruit.
ReplyDeleteDon't listen to the liar Gay men are and have always been the number one transmitter of AIDS since it's discovery in this country and world wide.
ReplyDelete3:00 That is so politically incorrect. Are you sure that you're not a homophobe? Read the comment by 2:30 ss to why the ban was lifted. So much has changed since AIDS first surfaced. Get educated!
ReplyDeleteIt's still an unnatural union and perversion but there are clinics that boast success for healing this kind of disorder.
ReplyDeleteGreat, now thet can spread the AIDS Virus to everyone else easier.
ReplyDeleteIn Canada and the U.S., however, gay men are still banned from donating blood.
ReplyDeleteGood. Keep your lifestyle, parades, weddings and your tainted blood to yourselves.
I was always told HIV/AIDS spread through unprotected sex and through body fluids.
Now all of a sudden they say blood is okay? No thanks. The medical and scientific fields are always correcting themselves.
In a few years they will say something different. I would prefer non-homosexual/lesbian/bi-sexual blood please.
As a matter of fact, I don't want to use your comb or brush either. Stay in your own little world and I'll stay in mind.
youth hetero and bi sexual
ReplyDeletemale and females are the largest spreaders of STDs and Aids these days
they seem to think there is a drug for everything thing and they are walking carriers of a lot of resistant strains of things a simple antibiotic use to kill
11:14 Yes homosexual behavior is the number one leader in the transmission of AIDS, stop the perversion stop the disease.
