LifeServe Blood Center and other community blood banks must follow blood donor eligibility guidelines set forth by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The current FDA policy states that males who have had sex with another male in the past three months are not eligible to donate blood until three months from the date of the most recent sexual encounter. Females who have had sex with a male who has had sex with another male in the past three months are also ineligible to donate blood until three months from the date of the most recent sexual encounter.
We encourage LifeServers to reach out to the FDA with comments, questions, or concerns!
