Gave blood today. That's about it, really.

Good for you.

I'm curious as to what form the question about blokes having sex with each other took? The old one which is vague and just says "sex" or the new one which says "oral sex or anal sex"? I happened to notice they'd changed it the last time they sent me a set of instructions, and I can probably think of a few blokes who would be ruled out for giving blood now who weren't previously.

The "oral sex or anal sex" one is now standard.

I'm arrogant enough about my medical knowledge to make my own decisions about how much of an HIV/Hepatitis risk I represent, though :)

Ah, I'm wondering about doing that myself. They've been happy with my blood for several years now and nothing has actually changed to make it a worse risk. I just don't feel quite comfortable about lying. S'why I didn't give blood last time round.

I know quite a few people who are sure their blood is safe but don't feel like lying. I think the NBS have a gun-bullet-foot problem here...

are your regulations as arse-backwards as ours?

Yeah - it's good when they are trying to control stuff but when they go overboard it's ridiculous. I don't believe I can now give blood at home because I've eaten British beef.
Mooo!
