Is It Time To Lift The Restrictions On Gay Men Donating Blood? (Ep. 3)
In the second episode of the BLOOD: Life Uncut podcast series we examine the UK blood donation guidelines which require gay men to be celibate for a twelve month period. We tracked down sociologist Scott Vrecko, Blood Equality Campaigner Lewis Hern and Haemophiliac and LGBTQ activist Mark Ward to find out if this ban was based on stigma or science.
