Blood donation bans against men who have sex with men should have never been removed, as Monkeypox proved : they are always two steps ahead in spreading unknown blood-borne diseases due to hyper-promiscuity.

It took decades to figure there was a new problem, and how to test for HIV in blood donations, and discover the ''window period'' ( test negative, still infectious ). Hundreds of thousands of victims got infected from tainted blood in the meanwhile.

There will be a new HIV-like deadly disease with long incubation at some point. And we removed the most effective barrier to this new disease getting into the blood banks.

The whining of ''stigmatizing people for who they are'' always pissed me off.

It's accurate risk-management based on BEHAVIOR.

I was never banned from donating blood, because I do not have sex.

Fee-feels shouldn't matter more than the safety of patients recieving blood.
