Can queer men give blood?
Gay and bisexual men are not automatically prevented from giving blood.
Men who include sex with men and who have had the same loved one for 3 months or more and see our other eligibility criteria are capable to give blood.
Anyone who has had anal sex with a new loved one or multiple partners in the last three months, regardless of their gender or their partner’s gender, must stay 3 months before donating.
We assess your eligibility to grant blood based solely on your hold individual experiences, making the process fairer for everyone.
If you are taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) or post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) you will be unable to grant blood. If you stop taking PrEP or PEP, you will need to wait 3 months before you can give blood.
We be grateful that any deferral is disappointing if you want to save lives by giving blood.
If you have previously been unable to offer blood because of the guidelines and would like to donate, please ring us on 0300 123 23 23. One of our team can review the new guidelines with you and, if eligible, guide your next appointment.

Sexual health for gay and bisexual men
Having unprotected penetrative sex is the most likely way to pass on a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Using a condom helps protect against HIV and lowers the risk of getting many other STIs.
If you’re a man having sex with men (MSM), without condoms and with someone new, you should hold an STI and HIV check every 3 months, otherwise, it should be at least once a year. This can be done at a sexual health clinic (SHC) or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. This is significant, as some STIs do not cause any symptoms.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a liver infection that's spread by a virus in poo.
Hepatitis A is uncommon in the UK but you can find it through sex, including oral-anal sex ("rimming") and giving oral sex after anal sex. MSM with multiple partners are particularly at risk. You can also get it through contaminated diet and drink.
Symptoms of hepatitis A can appear up to 8 weeks after sex and include tiredness and feeling sick (nausea).
Hepatitis A is not usually life-threatening and most people make a occupied recovery within a couple of months.
MSM can avoid getting hepatitis A by:

Gay men and other men who have sex with men
Abebe- an international learner from Ethiopia, 24-year-old who identifies as male (he/him/they) and has been sexually active for the last five years. Abebe’s appointment is by telehealth. About three months ago, he started exploring his sexuality and has had sex with a few male partners (if asked for more detail – 4/5 partners, both insertive and receptive anal and oral sex, infrequent condom use). Abebe is feeling lost and uncertain about his sexuality and would never have felt comfortable exploring it further while living with his parents in Ethiopia. He is worried about anyone in his family finding out, particularly his father. Abebe has no significant medical history but has been feeling a little anxious lately. Abebe has never smoked cigarettes but has been experimenting with some recreational drugs since coming to Australia. He drinks alcohol with friends on weekends (4-5 drinks per occasion) and has tried some MDMA. These occasions are also when he started to experiment having sex with men. Harm reduction education is provided regarding drug use and linked into community organisation for ongoing support.
