The agency’s explanation is exceedingly thin.
specifically focused on HIV and blood donation determined such rare infections are highly likely to be caught early with NAT tests.If it is likely that NAT would catch early HIV infections associated with PrEP use, then we deserve far more transparency about why the FDA has decided to continue to bar PrEP users from blood donation. In its news release, the agency does not explicitly point to any data; instead, it says it has “reviewed numerous data sources,” apparently including the NAT tests.
As Joseph Osmundson, a clinical assistant professor of biology at New York University, told me, “The burden should be on the FDA to produce models of what they think is happening.” So far, the agency has failed to provide it.Now, only HIV-negative gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men who do not use PrEP and who are abstinent from anal sex for at least three months, or are in a sexually monogamous relationship , are able to donate blood.
