I'm not sure, to be honest. There was a table at school today where students were collecting signatures to end the ban on msm donating blood, but they also had a sheet where you could sign up to give blood on their behalf. It was on that sheet that I read I couldn't, but it didn't mention a time frame. Mind you my blood pressure goes through the roof when I know I'm getting a needle so god knows if I'd get past the blood pressure screening even if I got past the questions XD
I think the reasons for banning gay men from giving blood are pretty bullshit, though, and I know gay guys who lie about it, but it still feels wrong to do so. Also, I suck at lying.
