Rules preventing blood donations from men who have sex with men to change
-
Team GayNZ:
More gay and bisexual men and takatāpui will soon be able to donate blood and plasma due to an upcoming change to donation processes.
Medsafe has approved the Blood Service's application to move towards individually assessing each donor, rather than a blanket policy making men who had sex with men in the last three months ineligible to donate due to the risk of HIV.
