The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) implemented a ban against men who have sex with men (MSM) from donating blood. This ban was implemented in fear that HIV would inadvertently be spread through blood transfusions at the onset of the HIV epidemic when HIV/AIDS was still largely not understood.

Who would have thought Spring Break in March would have been the last time people could be in large gatherings without a care in the world. It is crazy to imagine that masks being worn everywhere you go would be the new norm, this is our new life. You cannot even cough or sneeze in public without having the fear of being judged or the fact that everyone knows by now how far apart six feet is. [...]
