FDA to consider modifying blood donation restrictions for gay, bisexual men

Показать описание
The Food and Drug Administration is taking steps that may allow gay and bisexual men to donate blood.

This group of people has been largely turned away from donating blood following a ban in the 1980s given HIV fears. The FDA relaxed the rules in 2015 — moving away from a lifetime ban to one that allowed gay and bisexual men to donate if they have not had sexual contact with other men in the past year.

Given blood shortages, the period of time was reduced to three months.

The FDA funded a study, Assessing Donor Variability and New Concepts in Eligibility (ADVANCE), which recently concluded. It considers a more individual approach to determine risk.
