Technically we can. I currently qualify. 🥲

You’re largely preaching to the choir in this bowl - and I suspect you know the history and the concerns… It’s a probability and window-period thing - though I agree that there’s no need for it 40 years into HIV…
There’s a number of restrictions that don’t make sense. MSM is clearly one.
Another is if you lived in England in the early 90s- may have mad cow disease which apparently still disqualifies
Seems largely not driven by the science… but what else is new
We can all agree that it’s discrimination against our people
I think the mad cow disease situation might be different because it’s harder to test for, so it actually makes sense to exclude those people

So the idea is that there may be people (a whole nation?) who have been living with a disease that has shown no symptoms for 30 years - maybe it’s fine then? Particularly given current blood shortages?
