Scope and Contents
Dutch gay people have been advocating for a change in the guidelines as to who is allowed to donate blood, as the current rules bar gay men. They argue that guidelines should be focused on high-risk behaviour, not on the basis of sexuality itself. The transfusion service has not been willing to change its guidelines.
