Currently, men who have sex with men are banned for life from donating blood. We firmly believe this is a discriminatory and inadequate policy. With a holistic change to eligibility criteria, greater attention can be given to a greater number of risk factors and the safety of the blood supply could be improved. If these changes were implemented, it would also eliminate the existing social injustice against men who have sex with men.One way in which we are raising awareness of this policy is through sponsor drives, which are blood drives in which an ineligible donor brings someone who is eligible to donate on their behalf. When every presenting donor is accompanied by an ineligible individual, the potential to collect twice as many pints of blood is visually demonstrated. Rather than interfering with ongoing blood drives, this format is constructive and has the ultimate goal of saving as many lives as possible. With the support of many organizations and blood collection agencies throughout the United States, we hope to approach the FDA with our rationale for changing the health history questionnaire.
