In all honestly, back in the 80's when it was harder to screen for the disease, it was right to ban it. Nowadays there is no excuse.
Although gay men will have to abstain from sex for a year before they can donate, which is, well, a bit gay.
If I needed blood urgently, I couldn't give a **** who it come from, as long as it's "clean".
