The Food and Drug Administration is relaxing a 32-year-old ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men.
The FDA announced Monday that it was replacing a lifetime prohibition with a new policy that will allow gay and bisexual men to donate blood, but only if they have not had sexual contact with another man for at least one year.
"Relying on sound scientific evidence, we've taken great care to ensure the revised policy continues to protect our blood supply," said
