THE Red Cross decided to stop the ban blood donation which existed in gay and bisexual men, as he looks for more people to donate blood.
In accordance with CNNthe organization overturned a policy that had been in place since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic because doctors at the time believed that HIV spread more among gay and bisexual people, and there were no valid blood tests to detect the virus.
However, over the years, blood banks have been able to better screen for HIV among gay and bisexual men.
“But again the FDA’s policy remained the same,” the report said, noting that “instead of screening people for dangerous behavior, it screened people for who they were.”
However, problems with blood donation remain, especially in the US, where only a small percentage of society donates blood.
