The questions we ask before you give blood have changed:

• We have removed a question to ask if you or your partner has had sexual contact in Sub-Saharan Africa
• We will now ask all donors if they have had a new sexual partner, or multiple partners, in the last 3 months
• Anyone who has had anal sex with a new partner or multiple partners in the last three months will not be able to give blood at that time, regardless of their gender or their partner’s gender
