        because 30 years ago gay men were the largest population of HIV/AIDS carriers and it took weeks/hi cost for test

        it is now completely irreverent and a longstanding homophobic policy in the US (AAm women are highest carriers now)

        .@mashable Blood bank @my1blood has officially contradicted this report. Right now there is no reason to believe this is the case.

        All FDA guidelines remain in effect for blood donation. There are false reports circulating that FDA rules were being lifted. Not true.

        there's a federal ban in effect since the 80s stating men who have had sex w/men cannot donate blood. It's absolutely ridiculous.

        like, if you're a woman who's had 5,000 sex partners & unprotected sex with all of them - go on and donate all the blood you want.

        but if youre a man who's had 1 sex partner & in a monogamous relationship - if that partner happens to be a man you cannot donate.

        exactly. It's a form that's so embarrassingly outdated. Meanwhile there are millions of totally healthy gay men willing to donate.

        i bet that form doesn't ask if you're a man who has banged dozens of women without protection.
