Blood donation policies governing men who have sex with men have shifted significantly over time in Canada-from an initial lifetime ban in the wake of the AIDS crisis to successive phases of time-based deferment requiring periods of sexual abstinence (5 years to 1 year to 3 months). We interviewed 39 HIV-negative gay, bisexual, queer, and other sexual minority men (GBM) in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal to understand their willingness to donate blood if eligible. Transcripts were coded following inductive thematic analysis. We found interrelated and competing expressions of and . Most participants said they were "safe"/"low risk" and "willing" donors and would gain satisfaction and civic pride from donation. Conversely, a smaller group neither prioritized the collectivizing biological citizenship goals associated with expanding blood donation access nor saw this as part of sexual citizenship priorities. Considerable repair work is required by Canada's blood operators to build trust with diverse GBM communities.
加拿大针对男男性行为者的献血政策随时间推移发生了显著变化——从艾滋病危机后最初的终身禁令，到随后基于时间的延期阶段，要求有不同时长的性禁欲期（从5年到1年再到3个月）。我们在温哥华、多伦多和蒙特利尔采访了39名艾滋病毒阴性的男同性恋、双性恋、酷儿及其他性少数男性（GBM），以了解他们在符合条件时献血的意愿。访谈记录通过归纳主题分析进行编码。我们发现了相互关联且相互矛盾的表达。大多数参与者表示他们是“安全的”/“低风险的”且“愿意”献血的人，献血会让他们获得满足感和公民自豪感。相反，一小部分人既不将与扩大献血机会相关的集体性生物公民身份目标列为优先事项，也不认为这是性公民身份优先事项的一部分。加拿大的血液运营机构需要进行大量修复工作，以与多元化的GBM群体建立信任。
