The R Cros lately joined U.The R Cros lately joined U.S. blood banks and kindred centers in urging the fodder and Drug Administration to close its controversial lifetime ban onward blood donation by sexually active gay men A ban that hinders only men who have had sex with men in the past year--the same moratorium that applies to IV medicine users--will do just fine, they say. on the other hand some AIDS activists oppose any ban that might stigmatize gays. Jonathan Givner, director of Lambda Legal's HIV cast said we need "a policy that's based onward actual risk behavior rather than sexual orientation--a policy that won't ask [whether] you are a man who has had sex with another man." The national HIV Medicine Association lately developed a policy statement that would do just that and sent it most distant to the FDA, which has said it will review its passing from hand to hand policy sometime this year.
