Gay Men Can Donate Blood If They Abstain From Sex for 1 Year, Says FDA in New Policy Lifting Lifetime Ban
If they abstain for one year? And we are to take their word for that?
"The Food and Drug Administration has announced that it's easing restrictions on gay men donating blood, reversing a policy enacted during the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic decades earlier.
In a statement released Tuesday, the FDA said easing the ban came after several years of research into the matter.
"Following this review, and taking into account the recommendations of advisory committees to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the FDA, the agency will take the necessary steps to recommend a change to the blood donor deferral period for men who have sex with men from indefinite deferral to one year since the last sexual contact," stated the FDA.
The FDA intends to issue a draft guidance recommending this proposed change in policy in 2015, which will also include an opportunity for public comment."
In 1983, the FDA established a lifetime ban on blood donations from men who had had sexual intercourse with other men."
Bear in mind that when AIDs first emerged it as called GRIDs, Gay-related immune deficiency, because it was seen solely within the homo community. The PTB decided that was politically incorrect and renamed it AIDs in order to push the falsehood the disease had a wider demographic base and it could afflict anyone.

"Research"?
Yeah, right.
After several years of political pressure from fag activists is probably more accurate.
Nothing is more important than one person's rights.
Gay Man Abstaining From Sex for 1 Year. Can such a Gay man be found?
Gay Man Abstaining From Sex for 1 Year. Sounds like an oxymoron.
Gay Man Abstaining From Sex for 1 Year. Now go find a Gay man who doesn't lie about his sex life.
So the FDA puts the "trust me" back in our Nation's blood supply?
I'm thinking about all the Red Cross workers as well. Who wants to take this risk?
Doesn't anyone think about the vast uninfected hetero majority who find any risk intolerable?

Ok I was wondering--What if I as a Christian man and showing my White Privilege--If God forbid I would need surgery and I tell the doctor that I don't want Gay Blood--Am I a homophobe or will the Gay Mafia and it's goons force me to not have the operation--I mean if they can force a bakery to shut-down what is stopping them from forcing someone to take the blood
