Canadian Blood Services has expanded plasma donation eligibility at its donor centres in Calgary and London, Ont., marking a small step forward in the promise to eliminate the blood ban prohibiting gay and bisexual men and some LBGTQ2S+ folks from donating blood.

At these donor centres, gay, bisexual and certain trans folks who have sex with men are now eligible to donate plasma, provided they have not had a new sexual partner or their partner has not had sex with another partner in the last three months, CTV reports.
