On 12/14/20 at 10:46 AM EST
Blood donation rules that apply to gay and bisexual men are changing in the U.K. in a step campaigners have called a milestone day for equality .
All blood donors who have had one sexual partner and who have been with their sexual partner for more than three months will now be eligible to donate regardless of their gender, the gender of their partner or the type of sex they have. Under previous rules, all men who have sex with men had to abstain from sex for three months in order to donate due to the risk of HIV. The policy has long been seen to generalize and discriminate against gay and bisexual men.
