News@lemmy.world•Red Cross declares crisis over blood shortage in US for second time in history
3·1 month agoSorry, didn’t mean to be unclear! The question is in fact posited to every applicant regardless of sex/gender/orientation, our entire questionnaire is universal. Anal sex is brought up with anybody that’s had a recent new partner(again regardless of any of those metrics) just because of the enhanced risk due to delicate tissues etc. involved.
Like you say, at least it’s progress!

Condom use, while ideal on a personal level, is kind of a moot point where donating is concerned just because there’s no way for us to know that it was worn correctly, that nothing went away with it, etc.

It’s giving “Vampire: the Masquerade” clan novel cover. I love the vibe! Gritty and modern and dangerous.

Edit: By which I mean because that’s all he really is at the end of the day. Realised belatedly that my comment could be interpreted rather differently.
Because they’re depicting adult women and that’s how some adult women are shaped?
Taking my mom to her treatment centre here in an hour or so; I hope yours is even half as kind and caring as hers has been.
