Under the new questions, anyone who had a new sexual partner and anal sex, or who had multiple sexual partners and anal sex within the last three months, would be asked to wait at least three months from their most recent sexual contact to donate blood.
Anyone taking medications to treat or prevent HIV, such as PrEP, would also be deferred from donation. The FDA says that although HIV is not transmitted during sex in people whose viral levels are are undetectable, the same does not apply to blooddonation. Blood is transfused directly into a vein and involves a larger volume of fluid, making it inherently riskier than sexual contact.

“Placing potential blood donors taking PrEP in a separate line from every other donor adds unnecessary stigma. The bias embedded into this policy may, in fact, cost lives. GLAAD urges the FDA to continue to prioritize science over stigma and treatall donors and all blood equally,” Ellis said in a statement posted on their organization’s website.'
