Early data suggests that the inclusion of these donors has contributed to an increase in the blood supply. The rule change, implemented last year by the FDA, aimed to address previous restrictions and expand the donor pool.

Happy World Blood Donor Day! Since my first year in Congress, I was working to change the discriminatory policy banning men who have sex with men from donating blood. Last year, our work paid off. The FDA listened to the science and ended their unscientific ban.
