The thing is, sometimes showing you’re clean before marriage ain’t even enough, some people contract these things thru cheating (after) and end up giving it to their partners.
we can’t let this happen
Jay Franzone, a 21-year-old gay man, hasn’t had sex in a year so that he could donate blood under the FDA’s policy. On paper, the one-year deferral policy sounds like an improvement over the flat-out ban on gay and bi men donating blood that was in effect previously, but it’s just as discriminatory. Watch Jay’s interview with Vice here, and read his New York Times article about it here.
