据英国《每日电讯报》9月8报道,今日(9月8日)传出消息称,英政府将对同性恋者献血实施宽松政策。
A lifetime ban was put in place in the UK in the 1980s as a response to the spread of Aids and HIV. But politicians are expected to lift the restrictions in light of recent studies.
Earlier this year experts from the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs (Sabto) completed a review on the ban. They recommended lifting the restrictions, but only for gay men who have not had sex for a decade.
Men who have had sex with another man in the past 12 months, with or without a condom, will still not be eligible to donate blood, the DoH said.
英国卫生部表示,只要与同性发生性行为不超过一年的,则无论是否使用安全措施,都不允许献血。
A survey of homosexual men by the organizers of the UK"s biggest gay pride parade suggested 95 percent of gay men would be willing to donate blood.
由英国最大的同志骄傲游行的组织者进行的一项关于同性恋的调查显示,95%的同性恋都愿意献血。
Today"s announcement was welcomed by human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, but he said it fell short of lifting the ban on gay men who always use condoms.
The activist who launched the first campaign against the lifetime ban on gay and bisexual blood donors in 1991 added: "Most gay and bisexual men do not have HIV and will never have HIV. If they always have safe sex, have only one partner and test HIV negative, their blood is safe to donate. "
