When Can Gay and Bisexual Men Give Blood Here?

from City Cast Salt Lake · host City Cast

There’s always a need for blood donations, and with summer adventures approaching, the need is even more urgent. So while Salt Lake-based lab ARUP welcomes the news that gay and bisexual men can donate blood after a decades-long ban, that doesn’t mean a flood of the good stuff will come rushing in by Memorial Day. ARUP medical director Dr. Waseem Anani joins host Ali Vallarta — as she sits in the donation chair — to share the new line of questioning and what barriers still remain. Read pathologist Benjamin Mazer’s piece “The FDA’s New ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Policy for Blood Donation” in The Atlantic. Subscribe to our daily morning newsletter.
