Following the deadliest mass shooting in United States history,Philippines erotic an attack that targeted a gay nightclub, health officials urged potential blood donors to come forward and help.
Orlando Commissioner Patty Sheehan even told MSNBC that a ban on gay men being allowed to donated blood had been lifted, but OneBlood, a blood donation organization in Florida, later denied that is the case.
"I understand the blood banks are accepting blood from everyone. I think that's appropriate right now, because there has been a ban on gay men donating blood," Orlando Commissioner Patty Sheehan told MSNBC. "I think it's appropriate right now -- you can screen the blood, maybe this tragedy is the one thing that took that ban away."

Mashablehas reached out to the FDA and will update the post when more information becomes available.
In 2015, the FDA lifted its lifetime ban on accepting blood donations from gay men with new regulations stipulating that men must wait one year after sexual contact with another man to donate blood.

According to the Red Cross, blood donations are routinely screened for HIV.
