Gay men as a group live a high risk lifestyle with monogamy seldom part of it. If exclusion offends you you are the problem. When was the last time the gov put out ads calling for donors? This hardly expands the pool but expands the risk. @B_HQhttps://twitter.com/MattHancock/status/1338409257486741505?s=07&fbclid=IwAR0CK0pcXtb5fql6zlnbZTHg0n0zSJYD1Ce11bvDE_rBbTjOxyvgxeJSCBE …

What an embarrassing comment. Generalising any ‘group’ and arbitrarily labelling them as higher or lower risk is just ridiculous. All blood is thoroughly tested before use. And no groups should be excluded. A few sensible questions will help with the screening process. Silly man.

and yet clinically sound. What is it tested for Hector? Tell me the tests, their sensitivity, specificity and time windows? Indulge me in this magical world where risk is not stratified.

If someone is on recurring medication for whatever reason, that medication should be considered during consultation. After the haemophiliac horror in the 1980’s, I understand that all blood is screened before use, but that shouldn’t be specific to any single group.

We are not talking about screening. Screening will not pick up early infection where antibody tests are negative and infectivity high. This window by the way is the sole reason given by proponents of PrEP. So it can't be had both ways.

As I said, questions asked through consultation would help screen out high risk concerns, but to arbitrarily apply those concerns to any chosen ‘group’ without any factual basis is just ridiculous. You’re entirely welcome to your opinion, but I think we’ll agree to differ.

Well it's not my opinion. It is clinical guidance drawn from many expert haematologists and virologists. As a medic I can read that guidance and the references that back it. But it's not my opinion. It is evidence base.
