Gay Men Should Be Allowed To Donate Blood

"Men who have established sexual relations with other men in the past 5 years, do not do so because they are not allowed to donate blood with or without condom or other protection." This is South Africa It is a National Blood Service Center. (SANBS) spokesperson announced a statement on Thursday. This statement caused a major controversy between SANBS and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GLA). All newspapers have titles on this new topic, all news updates on all radio stations, all news programs on TV have titles, and everyone has some of our peaceful lives I am talking about the latest confusion.

ARC is criticized as prohibiting blood donation from lesbians, gay, bisexuals, and men (MSM) who have sex with men who are advocates of transgendered (LGBT). This policy is FDA's requirement for all blood sampling companies and organizations in the United States. Specifically, the US Food and Drug Administration has instructed the blood collection organization "a man who has postponed a one-time contact during the last 12 months, who had sex with another man during the past 12 months". Therefore, ARC can not legally collect blood from these men. In 2006, ARC, along with AABB and the US blood center, asked the FDA to cancel the request for blood donation due to better screening techniques. As of December 2016, the American Red Cross reported on its website that, after sexual contact with other men, MSM was postponed for 12 months to be consistent with guidelines issued by the US Food and Drug Administration did.

In 1983, when having sex with other men since 1977, the US Food and Drug Administration banned homosexual donation (Thrasher). Some activists think that the ban should be abolished as the ban is very strict. Hopefully anyone in the country can donate blood, but homosexuals have a high risk of certain diseases such as HIV / AIDS. This increased risk is not wise to rule out this prohibition. - Hypertension is a major health problem that affects the lives of many people. Most people do not know the various causes and solutions of high blood pressure. The reason is from high sodium diet to high stress. In modern society, many people take a fast pace of life. This makes it easier for them to use sodium and stressful fast foods during their career.
