YOU CAN NOT give blood if you have in the last 3 months:

•had oral or anal sex with another man, even ‘safer sex’ using a condom (if you’re a man)

•had sex (with or without a condom) with a male who you think may have had oral or anal sex (with or without a condom) with another man?

•been a male or female sex worker (i.e. received payment for sex in money, gifts or drugs?)

•had sex with a male or female sex worker?

•engaged in sexual activity with someone who ever injected drugs not prescribed by a doctor or dentist?
