Blood donors assist sufferers of all ages – accident and burn victims, coronary heart surgical procedure and organ transplant sufferers and people battling most cancers and different life-threatening situations,” FDA officers stated in an announcement.

In 2015, the U.S. lifted a decades-long lifetime ban on blood donations from homosexual and bisexual males that was imposed throughout the AIDS epidemic to guard folks from receiving blood transfusions from getting HIV. As an alternative, regulators positioned a one-year wait time on homosexual and bisexual blood donors.

However fashionable blood screenings can detect HIV, main homosexual rights advocates to say any wait time is pointless.

Blood checks can remain negative for about 9 days after somebody has been contaminated with HIV.
