uin	248720
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>NHS Blood and Transplant implements a three-month deferral period for men who have sex with men, irrespective of whether an individual routinely takes pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce the risk against infection with HIV. This deferral period is based on expert independent advice, provided by the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs, to protect donors and the patients who receive donated blood.</p><p>At a population level, men who have sex with men have a higher risk of acquiring a blood-borne virus or a sexually transmitted disease. Using PrEP can reduce the risk of transmitting HIV but it does not eliminate it. PrEP also does not reduce the risk of an individual becoming infected by other sexually transmitted infections, such as syphilis and hepatitis, and subsequently transmitting these infections through donated blood.</p><p>NHS Blood and Transplant appreciates that any deferral is disappointing if an individual would like to save lives by giving blood. NHS Blood and Transplant is currently working with LGBT+ groups to explore more individualised assessments and hope to report their findings towards the end of 2020.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 02/05/2019 16:12:23 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2019 answer text <p>The Department has provided more than £26 million to NHS Blood and Transplant and Anthony Nolan for stem cell donation since 2011. The funding has specific targets about the proportion of young donors, specifically young male donors, due to research identifying that younger donors offer the potential for better patient outcomes and a greater chance of survival. The Anthony Nolan and NHS Stem Cell Registry which was supported by the Department funding has over 1.4 million registered donors. 69% of new donors recruited to the registry in 2017 were under the age of 30.</p><p>Raising awareness about the importance of stem cell donation is everyone's business. The government fully supports and recognises the important work charities do to encourage registration and donation for the benefit of patients. I recently met with Team Margot, a charity who are doing excellent work to raise awareness of the need for stem cell donors.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 09/05/2019 14:30:19 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price previous answer version 116388 answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
