Closed petition Remove the criteria for men who have sex with men to wait before donating blood

Closed on 6 November 2020

Currently, men are not permitted to donate blood if they have had sex with another man in the last 3 months.

We would like the government to remove this restriction and allow men who have sex with men the same privilege to donate blood as everybody else.
