Join us to call for the discrimination in blood plasma trials to end.

Across the UK people are coming together to support the fight against coronavirus by joining the UK’s blood services trial which uses antibodies from people previously infected who have recovered.

The right thing to do is to allow anyone who is able to donate safely to do so, no matter who they are. But the trials adopt existing discriminatory rules that ban sexually active gay and bisexual men from donating.

Participants in this trial will already be subject to individual risk assessment related to when they had the virus and if they have recovered. An individual sexual behaviour risk assessment could therefore be used, rather than a blanket ban, to assess gay and bisexual men's participation.

We all have a part to play in stopping this virus. We call on Health Ministers from around the UK to act to end the discrimination that will mean not all of us can.
