I don't get this rules and regulation requirement in Australia regarding blood donation. Why men had sex with another men on previous 12 month not allow donating their blood? Ain't that sound like discrimination against PLU people. Does this happen at other countries as well? As my mind serve me right, i don't think we had such rule and regulation at Singapore and Malaysia. Please correct me if I’m wrong. However i will donate my blood on 23nd May, which it's my first time to do so. Obviously i can understand if this requirement is under donating sperm but donating blood! In another word, discrimination against PLU and there it go the Australian government always say we do not tolerate with discrimination.
Malaysia do have requirement that those who EVER had same gender sex or group sex to refrain from donating blood. >_<
ReplyDeleteThat country you are in always discriminate anyone.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping and totally thanks for the comment as well, which i'm really appreciate it. Well can't comment much about the discrimination since it's happen everywhere. The only location which i think we wouldn't face this issue is at our own lovely home. :p
ReplyDeletein Malaysia, if u have sexual relationship with the same gender, u r permanently deferred as blood donor :) same goes for those who have multiple sexual partners ( >1 ).
ReplyDeletetotally agreed abt d discrimination thingy. however, something happened in the 90s, note Kerver Commission Report :)
i agree that that criteria should be reviewed already...
