I decided to try and do @charmanderxerneas Laytontober this year, as it’s a really cool idea that someone in the fandom came up with and it seemed like fun. I’ll try my best to keep up with it, but as A levels continue to devour most of my days and some of my nights, please forgive me if I’m late. Anyways, here’s day 001: Puzzle!

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.
