In certain countries, there's a mistaken belief that gay men are more likely to lie about their sexual history, and for that reason they are banned from donating blood. Therefore, if a gay man practices safe sex or monogamous sex, he will not be believed.

In the United States, gay men are allowed to donate blood if they state they have been celibate for at least 1 year. But if they state they are monogamous with a spouse, they will be turned down. A straight man who has regular unprotected sex will not be turned down.
