Canadian Blood Services says Health Canada has approved its request to end the policy that restricts men who have sex with men from donating blood for three months.

Services says Health Canada has approved its request to end the policy that restricts men who have sex with men from donatingServices asked Health Canada to allow it to scrap questions about gender or sexuality, basing screening on higher-risk sexual behaviour such as anal sex instead.

It says starting no later than Sept. 30, potential donors will be asked if they have had new or multiple sexual partners in the last three months, no matter their gender or sexual orientation. They will then be asked whether they have had anal sex with any of those partners and if they have, then they will need to wait three months since that activity before donatingThe agency says asking about sexual behaviour, rather than sexual orientation, will allow it to more reliably assess the risk of infections such as HIV that can be transmitted through infusions.

It also says the shift comes after “countless hours” of work by LGBTQ and other groups, who have long advocated for a change in policy.

Beggers can't be chooser's. About time....

What could possibly go wrong? The gay community with their diseased blood killed off basically the entire CDN hemophiliac population and they laughed, partied and cried and did amyl poppers.

How about lifting the ban on people that ate beef in the UK and Europe in the 80’s Still a thing. Is that discrimination?

Why is anal sex “bad”…. Shouldn’t the questions be based on healthy condom use with partners?
