Matthew Rismondo wants to donate blood to save lives but has been told he can t unless he abstains from having sex with his long-term partner for 12 months. If the 26-year-old from Adelaide were living in the UK, he could donate much needed blood without such a restriction. Mr Rismondo has been in a same-sex relationship with his partner since February. I would absolutely want to donate blood - I m fit and healthy and I just don t understand why I can t, he said. Telling my partner I can t have sex with him for a year because I want to donate blood is a barbaric rule, particularly at a time of such need.
