Last week I tried to donate blood. NOPE!!! DENIED!!!
Why???
On the questionnaire, it asked specifically FOR MALES ONLY (women fill in bubble that they are a woman) if they have ever had sex with another male, even once. Not wanting to lie, I filled in the bubble for YES. When the lady was going over my questionnaire, she asked when was my first time with another male and I said sometime in October 2001. She even asked me for the day too so I guessed. Didn't ask for any details but said I was ineligible according to the computer to donate so I left.
Here's the links that explains why. Seems to me very fucked up.
