sebastienne"Have you had sex during the last 12 months with a man who has had oral or anal sex with another man?"
If the answer is yes, you can't give blood. No matter how many tests you have to say that you're clean. Even if that man always used a condom, with you, and with the other man.
"Have you ever received payment for sex?"
If the answer is yes, you can't give blood. Had unprotected sex for free? Go right ahead! Took money, and took precautions - even just once? Forget it!
I understand the exclusion of high-disease-risk groups, really, I do. It's statistics. It's why it's legal to offer different insurance premiums to people of a different gender or race. But, I'm wondering... what would be the morals of lying about one's sexual history in this situation? If you've had the tests, and know you're clean. Is it noble, or criminal?
