There is no estimate of the prevalence of non\u2010compliance (i.e. failure to disclose a risk during the predonation interview which would lead to deferral) with the policy in Australia; however, published studies elsewhere indicate a range of 0\u00b78\u201311%. We investigated the rate of, timing and motivation for non\u2010compliance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A nationally representative sample of donors who had made a recent donation negative for transfusion\u2010transmissible infection testing was surveyed using an anonymous, online instrument. Non\u2010compliance was considered as a \u2018yes\u2019 response to the current screening question. Non\u2010compliers were requested to define the timing of the last sexual contact relevant to their most recent donation. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to define factors associated with non\u2010compliance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of 14\u00a0476 responses from male donors, 34 (0\u00b723%, 95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content>: 0\u00b716\u20130\u00b733%) were non\u2010compliant of whom 24 (0\u00b717%, 95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content>: 0\u00b711\u20130\u00b725%) had contact within 6\u00a0months of donation. Factors significantly associated with non\u2010compliance included: multiple sexual partners, history of injecting drug use, perception of a lack of privacy during interview and preference for a computer\u2010based questionnaire.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study confirms high compliance (&gt;99\u00b77%) to the 12\u2010month deferral for male\u2010to\u2010male sex in Australia providing reassuring evidence for the efficacy of the screening question. Issues of \u2018privacy\u2019 and \u2018discomfort\u2019 associated with disclosure suggest the use of validated audio computer\u2010assisted structured interview as a possible option for improving compliance with the donor questionnaire.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vox.12093","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,12]],"date-time":"2013-10-12T02:38:59Z","timestamp":1381545539000},"page":"14-22","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Compliance with the current 12\u2010month deferral for male\u2010to\u2010male sex in <scp>A<\/scp>ustralia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"106","author":[{"given":"C.
