Excluding only men who engaged in male\u2010to\u2010male sex within either the prior 12\u2003months or 5\u2003years has been proposed. Little is known about infectious disease risks of MSM who donate blood.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:<\/jats:bold> Weighted analyses of data from an anonymous mail survey of blood donors were conducted to examine the characteristics of men reporting male\u2010to\u2010male sex during specified time periods.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>RESULTS:<\/jats:bold> Of the 25,168 male respondents, 569 (2.4%) reported male\u2010to\u2010male sex, 280 (1.2%) since 1977. Compared to donors who did not report male\u2010to\u2010male sex, the prevalence of reactive screening test results was higher among donors who reported the practice within the past 5 years (\u226412 months odds ratio [OR] 5.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.6\u201010.4; &gt;12\u2003months to 5\u2003years, OR 7.1, 95% CI 1.2\u201041.7); however, no significant difference was found for donors who last practiced male\u2010to\u2010male sex more than 5\u2003years ago (&gt;5 years\u2010after 1977, OR 1.4, 95% CI 0.7\u20102.6; 1977 or earlier, OR 1.6, 95% CI 0.7\u20103.7). The prevalence of unreported deferrable risks (UDRs) other than male\u2010to\u2010male sex was significantly higher for all donors who reported male\u2010to\u2010male sex with ORs ranging from 3.1 to 18.9 (p\u2003\u2264\u20030.01).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:bold> No evidence was found to support changing current policy to permit donations from men who practiced male\u2010to\u2010male sex within the past 5\u2003years. For donors with a more remote history of male\u2010to\u2010male sex, the findings were equivocal. A better understanding of the association between male\u2010to\u2010male sex and other UDRs appears needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2005.03421.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,3,4]],"date-time":"2005-03-04T14:58:17Z","timestamp":1109948297000},"page":"404-413","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["The impact of male\u2010to\u2010male sexual experience on risk profiles of blood donors"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Ana M.","family":"Sanchez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"George B.","family":"Schreiber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catharie C.","family":"Nass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simone","family":"Glynn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Debra","family":"Kessler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nora","family":"Hirschler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joy","family":"Fridey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Bethel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward","family":"Murphy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael P.","family":"Busch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,3,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","volume-title":"Revised recommendations for the prevention of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission by blood and blood products [Internet].","year":"1992"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","first-page":"S8","article-title":"An overview of the global HIV\/AIDS epidemic, with a focus on the United States","volume":"14","author":"Gayle H","year":"2000","journal-title":"AIDS"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1537-2995.2002.00174.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1537-2995.2000.40020143.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","unstructured":"StarrD.The 9\/11 blood\u2010donation disaster: bad blood [internet].The New Republic Online;issue:4567;2002 Jul 29.
