ok i read more articles, it’s called chronic wasting disease & we already knew abt it but it’s spreading in north america & is in 24 states rn. uhhh no one knos if it could spread to humans (we dont rly kno anything abt it at all actually 💀) but a lot of the articles r saying the concern for that possibility is high rn so. take lots of precautions. we’re probably fine unless we eat it. basically it always existed it’s just making headlines cause it’s spreading a LOT now which is increasing the worry for it spreading to us

More gay and bisexual men will now be able to donate blood under finalized FDA rules

While the number of people eligible to donate blood has expanded, the agency says it will continue to monitor the safety of the blood supply

The article says that the guidelines have been updated. Instead of asking if you’re a man that’s had sex with another man in the past 3 months it asks everyone regardless of gender if they’ve had anal sex with a new partner or if they’ve had anal sex with multiple partners in the past 3 months.

This both opens up blood donation to msm in exclusive relationships or who don’t have anal sex and more accurately identifies hiv risk from people who aren’t msm. This is exactly the sort of guidelines we’ve been fighting for for years. This is a major win for both gay rights and blood donation in the US. Now a bunch of people who couldn’t donate before can donate now.
