What are your thoughts on this? Would you be happy to accept blood from a gay man?
Personally I don't care. It passes the screening its good for me. |
But the blood might turn me GAY!
Seriously not a problem in the slightest as you say if it passes the screening is there really any increased risk, unless the BTS have reasons to suggest there would be an increased risk. Though I'm unfamiliar is the ban on gay people giving blood or on anyone thats had anal sex?
