FDA proposes 'gender-inclusive' blood donor requirements with 'risk-based questions' for HIV

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed using what it calls "gender-inclusive, individual risk-based questions" to reduce the risk of HIV transmission from blood donors to recipients by asking about new sexual partners and anal sex in a move that will allow more gay and bisexual men to donate blood.

Current FDA guidance requires "men who have sex with men" and women who have sex with men in this group to abstain from relations for three months before donating blood to reduce the risk of HIV transmission.

The new donor history questionnaire proposed Friday would ask about new sexual partners within the past three months. If they answer affirmatively, the prospective donors would be asked about their history of anal sex over the past three months.

"All prospective donors who report having a new sexual partner or more than one sexual partner and had anal sex in the past three months would be deferred from donation," the FDA stated.

This means gay and bisexual men who have not had a new partner within the past three months will be able to donate blood.

The American Red Cross said it is "pleased" with the announcement and it "recognizes the hurt" that the donation deferral policy has caused.

Gay and bisexual men were banned from donating blood for life in the United States in a rule that lasted from 1985 until 2015, when the FDA said prospective male donors must have not had sex with another man in the past year, according to the Human Rights Campaign. In 2020, the FDA shortened the deferral period to three months.

I am all for this, provided you must receive blood from your same gender identification type.

Homosexuals can only get blood donated by homosexuals, straights can only get blood donated by straights, etc.

Equity!

We are being governed by lunatics.

“This means gay and bisexual men who have not had a new partner within the past three months will be able to donate blood”

Scuse me, FDA, What about the people that other person had sex with? You have to take into account the rampant slutfest gay culture is.

Just accept the blood, then throw into the trash.

Bottom line, it sounds like nothing will change, except that almost anyone will be permitted to donate blood.
If certain boxes have been checked. the facility will simply discard the questionable bag of blood. It’s a feel good about ourselves, vacuous policy update.

What a Great Idea!

Risk public confidence in the quality of the blood supply.

If anything goes wrong, the recently perfected American Media Propaganda Machine can censor and disappear anyone who tries to sound a warning, so no need to even fix a screw up.

It'll be like the good old days when Bent Bill Clinton could sell HIV infected blood from Arkansas Prisons to Canada, and they didn't have a clue, ... until a bunch of 'em started dropping dead, but no need to sweat the small stuff...

thanks to the vax, the vast majority of the blood pool is tainted.

[jeffersondem]

This new policy will put more innocent people at risk of getting a fatal disease; all this to support a lifestyle that is well known to be risky.

This is criminal.

Some of the ‘free’ streaming services have commercials that repeat, and repeat, and repeat. One of the repeating commercials touts a medication that promises you will not test positive for HIV. NOT that you do not have HIV, only that you will not test positive. The underlying message, from the men heading to somewhere private with another man, is ‘go ahead and have all the sex you want!’ The only thing missing is the bath house orgies.

Just because it is ‘not detectable’ does not prove there is no virus present. No Worries! /s

Although only approximately 7% of adult and adolescent males reported having had male-to-male sexual contact at some point in their lives, 82% of HIV infections among males in 2018 were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact. (CDC: Estimated HIV Incidence and Prevalence in the
United States, 2015–2019P. 7) 

 92% of HIV infections among men aged 13 to 24 was attributed to male-to-male sexual contact, and young gay and bisexual men accounted for 83% (6,385) of all new HIV diagnoses in people aged 13 to 24 in 2019, and 81% of diagnoses of HIV infection among all Adolescents and Young Adults.

In 2019, 70% of all new HIV infections in the U.S. were among homosexual men, and 63% of all people in the US with HIV are homosexual men. (https://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/newsroom/fact-sheets/hiv/HIV-gay-bisexual-men.html)

In 2019, heterosexual men accounted for 7% of all HIV diagnoses, and heterosexual women accounted for 16% of HIV diagnoses. 

 
The largest percentage of HIV infections among all was attributed to male-to-male sexual contact (66% overall and 81% among males).

And when people get AIDS as a result of this, the Medical establishment will:
— Deny it
— Cover it up
— Threaten any whistleblowers with loss of job, license or certifications
— Accuse people who protest of homo/trans phobia

And, of course, the Media will report any AIDS cases from this as “debunked misinformation”.

HOW is donating blood a RIGHT?????

[stockpirate]

Once a person understands that their goal is to kill most of us, then it will all make sense to you.

[NWFree]

They want to spread Fagpox and aids to everyone

[cork]

Sounds like straight, monogamous, pure bloods will be walking bitcoins soon

[drypowder]

We’re all going to die and it’s obvious these evil pukes want to speed up that process

[maddog55]

They should do the same for purebloods vs the covid vaxed tainted blood.

[mewzilla]

Have the providers of the blood been given immunity from lawsuits that would stem from patients being infected by tainted blood?

Inquiring minds want to know...

[RetiredTexasVet]

Just part (FDA) of the Mengele killing machine.
