It probably doesn't help that a lot of us are ineligible to donate. I donated as often as I could up until I got a same sex partner

    That's no longer a deal-breaker. They ask if you've had multiple partners in the last 3 months, or taking prep treatment.

    Even then, I'm not sure that would stop you (not sure what the policy is), that's simply what they ask.

    It's probably worth calling and asking if you do want to donate.
