This sounds similar to generic rules for blood donation in my area. Any potential donnor who have relations with a new partner in the last few months is temporarily barred from donation. There used to be a stricter rule for MSMs but this specific rule was lifted a while ago.
Also I believe some tests are done, either for new donnors, or upon each donation. Some people learn about an illness when trying to donate.
the dropping of sex- or gender-specific restrictions has been a broader trend recently in blood donation, yea; it doesn’t really make sense anymore (and never really made much sense to begin with) to single out groups when, for example, we can effectively screen potential blood contaminants and a significant plurality of people who contract HIV/AIDS are heterosexual
