@KeJiefu @fryspati Yeah, PrEP usage is a 3 month deferral. The way the medication works increases the risk of a false negative when testing blood donations for HIV.

[Matthew Bradfield @palerider318]

@DamianNuno @fryspati That's close, but not quite correct. The deferral criteria is if you have had multiple partners AND anal sex within 3 months, regardless of gender. Just one isn't enough.

[Matthew Bradfield @palerider318]

@ThaRealDeSade @fryspati That's not correct anymore. US blood donation is based on individual factors now, regarless of gender. If you have had multiple partners AND anal sex within 3 months, you're deferred. Just one isn't enough.
PrEP and PEP use is also a deferral due to the risk of a false negative

[Matthew Bradfield @palerider318]

@The_Bochinche @fryspati Being gay is no longer automatic ineligibility for blood donation. The FDA updated their criteria a couple years ago to individual risk assessment.

@ziplamak @fryspati You're mostly correct. The deferral is for anal sex AND multiple partners. You can give blood if you engage in anal sex but only if you haven't had multiple partners in the 3 month window. You're right about the PrEP deferral though. Reason being there's risk of a false negative.

[Matthew Bradfield @palerider318]

@qixtax @fryspati In the US, there's a 3 month deferral for tattoos done in DC, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania and Wyoming. There is no deferral period in every other state.

@TwinkTheory @fryspati That hasn't been the criteria for several years now.

@bikeshare E-bike at Georgiaa Ave/Petworth that's missing some pieces

@311DCgov Tree branch down in bike lane. 3500 block of Park Pl NW

[Matthew Bradfield @palerider318]

@alanthefisher About that...

@bikeshare Presumably stolen bike locked to a bike corral at the corner of F and 7th right outside the Gallery Place station entrance.

@oren_cass @nytimes This is delusional. The emperor very obviously has no clothes. No amount or "this is all part of the plan" will make up for that.

[Matthew Bradfield @palerider318]

@stavridisj @CNN @andersoncooper No. Next question.

[Matthew Bradfield @palerider318]

@ShawnChittle You honestly start seeing the city differently with bikeshare. Trips that used to be impractical by bus or train are easily doable with @bikeshare as a first/last mile connector. I've said it before, but if I didn't get it free as a DC employee, I'd absolutely pay the $100/year.
