FDA to axe ban that prevented gay and bisexual men from donating their sperm trends now By Luke Andrews Senior Health Reporter For Dailymail.Com Published: 20:20 BST, 4 April 2024 | Updated: 20:20 BST, 4 April 2024 Viewcomments The FDA is set to axe its ban on gay and bisexual men donating sperm, it has been revealed. Current rules block anonymous sperm donations from men who have had sex with men within the last five years, with the rule brought in amid fears over HIV. But under a revised proposal from the agency, this rule would be replaced with a requirement to ask 'more pointed' questions about HIV risk. The new legislation — which could go into effect by the end of the year — would affect the availability of sperm for fertility treatments such as IVF.
