Evolving blood donation policies for gay men
The Link ^ | October 22, 2024 | Megan Mills Devoe

On May 10, the Canadian Blood Services (CBS) issued an apology to 2SLGBTQIA+ communities for the role its former donor eligibility policy played in contributing to “discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, and HIV stigma within society.”

From 1998 until 2013, CBS had a lifetime blood donation ban for any man who had sex with another man, even once.

This ban then became a deferral period of five years, then 12 months, and finally, three months. Under their most recent screening policies updated in late 2022, both CBS and Héma-Québec ask every potential donor if they have had anal sex with a new partner or multiple partners in the last three months. Anyone who answers yes will not be allowed to donate blood at that time.

"Christopher Karas, a human rights lawyer, argues that despite the inclusive language, the policy’s fixation on anal sex is de facto discrimination."

I told you that this wouldn't be good enough for the fag brigade.

If faggots give blood, it should be clearly marked and potential recipients or guardians and given the choice to reject it.

Giving it without permission should be charged as attempted 1st degree murder.

with medications they can get to undetectable.

which means they can still infect others, but you won’t know about it until you become detectable.

madness

It’s not discrimination.

That area isn’t meant for entry so it tears a lot easier....which means blood will flow...which makes infection transfer into the area that the blood is flowing from very, very, very easier.

Like 4,000 times easier to transfer to a person that way than regular intercourse.

If I’ve not made you nauseous yet, I will stop here :)

“discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, and HIV stigma within society.”

When it comes to my health, I am ok with this. Gays should not be allowed to donate blood. Period. I don’t care one bit if it hurts their widdle feewings.

My opinion: they want to give blood so diseases like Monkey Pox are not just limited to them. That way they feel less likely to be stigmatized.

And yes, I beleive that they (the activists for whom this is so important) do want to see straights infected with diseases because it makes them feel better about themselves.

What you say has got to be true, because their position contradicts all medical evidence.

I think I’m fine with the homos giving blood... as long as it is clearly marked, stored separately and only given to other homos.

HIV should not be stigmatized and everyone now has the right to get HIV through blood from homosexual men.

If you refuse to be exposed to HIV, you are a hateful, homophobic bigot!

The anal-receptive males, and gays in general, who try to give blood are doing so out of hostility to normals.

They are not doing it to be generous or magnanimous.

We all know they are crazy hostile toward normals and this is the perfect way to get back at them.

HIV infected taking antiretrovirals will still transmit HIV to sex partner? Why do they take antiretrovirals, if it doesn’t remove the HIV virus? HIV causes its infected to prematurely age 14 years, even when treated with antiretrovirals. That means they get lots of diseases like cancers, plus die at least 14 years early. This fact alone should mean HIV infected should NOT donate blood.

Everyone must be equal? If HIV cannot be cured then everyone must get HIV; not much more absurd than leftist positions in general.

That is essentially what they're saying, unbelievably. If they can get the general population infected at or near the rate that they get infected (it will take MILLIONS more average Americans getting infected to come anywhere close to the MSM rate), then homos won't stick out as the HIV vectors that they are.
