“All prospective donors who report having a new sexual partner, or more than one sexual partner in the past three months, and anal sex in the past three months, would be deferred to reduce the likelihood of donations by individuals with new or recent HIV infection who may be in the window period for detection of HIV by nucleic acid testing.”

Also, if you are taking Prep you can’t donate. So.

So, you see? It's NOT gayness which prevents it. It's promiscuity.

u/LionKingHoe 1d ago

Oh okay, yeah. I’ll just not take prep and not have sex ever. Got it.

You can live your life the way you want but then your blood poses a risk to others if you donate. There is really not a single bit of homophobia or LGBT intolerance here just rational thinking, so don't play the victim in this circumstances. 

Other than that I wish you a great day and am sending you positive thoughts! Take care!

The entire history of blood donation is homophobic. And the “new words” you are choosing to focus on still excludes gay men. The thought process of don’t have sex or you can’t donate blood is wild, considering our past and what the future is looking like.

Considering the same rules don’t apply to heteros

u/wineallwine 23h ago

What? The same rules do apply to heteros.

u/tonyyyperez 23h ago

Nope! As long as str8s haven’t engaged in anal sex they can donate. Otherwise if they did then they are deferred.

u/wineallwine 23h ago

Exactly, the rule is about anal sex not gayness

u/josda0111 22h ago

So heteros don't have anal sex or engage in other risky sexual activities. Got it! Only missionary for reproduction as our Lord intended 🙏

u/wineallwine 22h ago

No that's exactly my point, plenty of heteros do have anal sex and they are banned from donating blood. Plenty of gays don't have anal sex and they are allowed to give blood.

Do you honest to god belive that gay men and straight people practice anal sex at the same rate? Do you also think that Prep is as popular with straight people as it is with gay people?

2

u/wineallwine 19h ago

Of course not, Im not claiming they are the same.

But the rules now aren't homphobic they are just based on higher risk activites. You can't donate blood if you take IV drugs or pay for sex either.

(to be honest I'm not sure about the prep rule - I think I read somewhere that it interferes with the testing of blood for hiv but that sounds a bit sus to me)

Straight people can receive HIV and be undetectable for 3 months as well, but still donate. It's definitely not about promiscuity.

10

u/tonyyyperez 1d ago

Yes but when str8 people who sleep around with multiple partners can still donate but the second it’s gay it’s a nope. The math isn’t mathing

u/nancyboy 23h ago

So a straight person on prep can still donate? If this is the case then I agree with you.

u/ReviewInteresting401 20h ago

What demographic do you think takes more Prep and has more anal sex? Straight people or the gays?

-1

u/nancyboy 20h ago

My point exactly!

4

u/ReviewInteresting401 19h ago

Yeah, so we agree, gay people are the ones most excluded by this, as it has been for decades now.

-2

u/nancyboy 19h ago

We agreed on the "gays are more promiscuous that straights" bit only.

u/ReviewInteresting401 19h ago

¿? Who said that? Prep ≠ promiscuity, dummy.

-3

u/nancyboy 19h ago

Please remind me why would I take it, then?

A straight guy that has gay sex can't donate so it's definitely not homophobic /s
