Before donating blood, people will have to complete a donation safety check and will be asked whether, over the last three months, they have:- Had a sexually transmitted disease (including gonorrhoea)
- Taken part in chemsex (defined as sexual activity, often in groups, under the influence of stimulant drugs, excluding cannabis, alcohol and Viagra, to enhance sexual experience)
- Had anal sex with multiple partners or a new sexual partner with or without a condom or other protection.If the answer is "yes" to any of these questions, they will not be eligible to give blood for another three months.
In addition, they will be asked whether they:
- Regularly have anal sex with or without a condom or other protection with more than one person
- Take pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV (Prep) continuously
- Have ever had syphilisIf their answer is "yes" to any of these questions, they will not be eligible to give blood.
Well, that knocks out 98% of fags.
You expect them to answer each question truthfully?
I’d expand that STD question to any STD....especially HIV/AIDS.
Why do they ask about chemsex? Does saying yes mean you are definitely homosexual?
