9h agoA change could be coming in the FDA's blood donation policy which could ease rules for blood donations made by gay and bisexual men.
The proposal would allow more gay and bisexual men in monogamous relationships to donate blood.
The new policy would ask donors if they've had new or multiple sexual partners in the last three months.
Those who say 'no' will be allowed to donate.
Those who say 'yes' must answer follow up questions.
Blood banks will continue to test donations for HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.
