Boned more than two people this year and trying to donate an organ? GOD, keep that to yourself! And by that the CDC means whatever organ you had in mind.
The CDC's new proposed policy will ask donor candidates about their specific sexual history and discourage those with a rather—ahem—active lifestyle from donating. The CDC believes those who've had more than two sexual partners in the last 12 months have higher risks of transmitting life-threatening infections like HIV, hepatitis B and C. With these personal questions, the CDC aims to be more transparent with patients though it is already putting off many potential donors. I mean, geez, way to be a bunch of prudes. Good sexual health does not necessarily correlate with numbers of sexual partners.
However, people who fall under this proposed skanky category aren't entirely banned from donating. If an extreme situation arises where that donor's organ can be life-saving, a more scrutinized testing will ensure the organ is good to go. That is, if you're still willing to donate to the place that morally judges your organ to begin with. [MSNBC]
