On Tuesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration decided to put more Americans at risk: the department said it will consider changing the laws that prohibit gay men from donating blood for a year after their last sexual encounter to a position that would be based on “individual risk assessemtns.’
Last December, the FDA eliminated a 30-year ban on all blood donations from men who have sex with men, arguing that an indefinite ban was not necessary to prevent transmission of HIV.
