Washington, D.C. - The APLUS Coalition, an alliance of patient advocacy organizations, has announced a new joint statement in a show of solidarity for those living with conditions requiring the use of blood and/or plasma products. The statement comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced new draft guidance that would implement an individualized risk assessment for all potential donors regardless of their sexual orientation or the gender of their partners. This comes after many years of attention to the deferral criteria for men who have sex with men (MSM).
