Petition update, 18 May 2007

More details from petition creator

Blood in the UK is tested for HIV and Hep B&C before use. The NBS say the record for testing is exceptionally good. Last year patients received three million+ units of blood and blood products, 6 of which were infected with a blood borne infection (or only 1/100th more of a risk if Gay and Bi men were to donate).

UN and World Health Organisation position for blood donation is not to discriminate against groups of individuals.

HIV is now at its fast growing rate in the heterosexual community. The polices of the NBS are outdated, making decisions as to whether or not your allowed to give blood on how honest you are.

Internationally the following countries repealed their life Bans on G&B men giving blood:

Italy South Africa Sweden Spain Portugal Russia France This petition is calling on the government to do the following:

1 Carry out a review of these NBS policies. 2 Overturn the current policy against G&B Men and instead discriminate against unsafe sexual practices.
