- Date is incorrect "The FDA policy impacts men who have had sex with another man since 1977, but the policy has only existed since 1983. The date should be changed to reflect the time frame where this policy has been acted out. http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/BloodBloodProducts/QuestionsaboutBlood/ucm108186.htm"
