The American Red Cross is changing its donor screening policy to allow gay and bisexual men to donate blood.
The humanitarian organization announced the change on Monday, removing a historic barrier in the donation process by not considering sexual orientation as a risk factor.
Other screening questions will remain the same. Potential donors will be asked about risk factors including sexual activity. Specifically they will be asked if they have had sexual contact with a new partner in the past three months and had anal sex.
The Red Cross said the decision is supported by decades of data collection and assessments, including the ADVANCE study. The study was funded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
This study found that blood donor history questions could identify sexually active gay or bisexual men who had "lower-risk behaviors" that would be eligible to donate.

And 99% of these were lying.
Makes perfect sense. Add up enough of these cull the herd mandates and pretty soon they are making a good dent with the Walmart stinkin, deplorable serfs.
What could possibly go wrong. /sarc
Political Science. Science driven by politics.
Be we know we'll never be told.
That’s why this was done in the first place. Now they’re going to have to demand an increased cost to hospitals for blood due to a need to test. It says very clearly on all donation forms that giving blood should not be used to determine if you have a disease, but people do it all the time.
Pathetic
I’ll stick to the untainted non vax blood banks. Fags are more likely to get the vax being liberal and all.
Homosexual men remain over 20 times more likely to be infected with HIV than the general population. So, even if a queer man is in what he thinks is a “monogamous” relationship (they’ve redefined that concept too) with his partners, his partner may not be monogamous, which is highly common in this deranged subculture.
Blood donations by people taking drugs to treat, prevent HIV could be ‘cause for concern’
Nothing but should something go wrong it will blamed on homophobia or climate change or Trump.
The important bit...
...Our findings indicate that a small proportion of blood donors have not been disclosing PrEP/PEP use and therefore donating in non-compliance to donor eligibility criteria...
Bold is mine.
You don’t want to know where they poke you.
In a 1982 copy of the Merck Manual, it is written that “28 percent of male homosexuals report having 1000 partners.”
Hmmmmm . . . I guess homosexuals have become more virtuous over the years. /S
Indeed
This study found that blood donor history **(questions)** could identify sexually active gay or bisexual men who had “lower-risk behaviors.
The Red Cross must have received some of Hunter’s free crack pipes?.
I shop regularly at Walmart and have met some of the most kind, helpful and decent people there - many of them veterans.
So, I gues the folks who post this gay, tranny crap will be there with their sleeves rolled up.
They need to provide data about the blood someone is about to receive: sexual proclivities, did they receive mRNA vaxxes, etc.
Those aren’t my words. Those are the words of our nation’s top FBI agent, Peter Strozk. I have a steel trap memory. Sorry. No disrespect meant. Quite the contrary really.
