Men who have sex with men blood donor controversy in the United Kingdom
(詳細はmen who have had sex with men (MSM) in Northern Ireland, as well as the policy of the National Blood Service in the rest of the United Kingdom not to accept donations of blood from men who have had sex with men in the previous year, regardless of whether condom(s) were used during sex. The National Blood Service have argued that this policy is necessary in order to protect public health and minimise the spread of transmittable diseases such as HIV. However, the policy been criticised as being discriminatory towards gay men. The policy has been adopted based on the scientific advice of the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs and has been kept under regular review, with the latest change (moving from a lifetime ban to a one-year ban) which happened in September 2011. The ban is opposed by groups such as the LGBT campaign of the National Union of Students in the UK.
==2011 Change==
In September 2011 it was reported that the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland) would move from a lifetime ban to a one-year ban.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Donor selection criteria review )〕
The gay rights group Stonewall said the move was a "step in the right direction". However, a spokesperson pointed to the fact that high-risk heterosexuals would still be less controlled than low-risk gay men: "A gay man in a monogamous relationship who has only had oral sex will still automatically be unable to give blood but a heterosexual man who has had multiple partners and not worn a condom will not be questioned about his behaviour, or even then, excluded.".〔 The Independent, a UK newspaper, reported that Andy Wasley, editor in chief of So So Gay magazine, called for "more precise selection criteria" to be used in identifying high-risk potential donors.
It was not clear how much the total amount of blood donated would change following this change, Sir Nick Partridge, chief executive of the Terrence Higgins Trust, is quoted as saying it is impossible to say how many men would actually be able to start donating blood, as "the vast majority of gay men are still (sexually) active".〔
