Yeah, that's still just a rumor going around best I can tell. MSM who have been celibate a year can donate, but if they're not celibate, they can't give. One Blood is urging people to make appointments if they want to donate though, so many people are flooding them wanting to give that it's gotten overwhelming.

Half truth. They were turning people away at the door because of an FDA mandate on gay men back in the 80s. Frickin toilet seats infecting the world...

Last I heard that was misinformation. I know there was a rumour going around online about this, but One Blood put out information saying that FDA regulations were still being followed.

That very well could be true. I didn't verify the information.

Stupid rule if you ask me. They can screen for HIV/AIDS now.

Well from what ive read, the FDA make dubious decisions... i mean arent they the guys who say that glucose fructose isnt a health risk?
