I though so too re blood donation, that it should be like in most countries. It is emerged last night that Russian Ministry of Health has repealed the ban on blood donations by gays which is great news and hopefully will have influence at some point on Armenia too. Will look forward to your report on Basketball tournament. Btw, do you advertise these events somewhere? Because noone from e.g. PINK Armenia LGBT NGO knew about that march and that tournament too, although they would have liked to get involve. Perhaps, it would be good to get in touch with them too. Contact details are in my blog. Thanks Trygve!

I truly agree that we need more campaings of this sort in Armenia, and they should also be better coordinated between the organisations interested in the matter. I would love to get more input from you on this issue. Btw, on tuesday the final in the Red Cross Basketball tournament for Hiv will be in Yerevan. I will make a post with more information on this. About the blood donations: Armenia Red Cross is currently not involved in the blood transfusions in Armenia. As far as I've understood this is organized by a sub-body of the Ministry of Health. I honestly can't answer his question, but I would assume that they do as in most other countries: not accepting blood donations from practising homosexuals. (Not saying that I agree with this practice.) Thank you Artmika for the encouragement and your focus on our action.

We need more HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns in Armenia to educate, fight prejudices and contribute to prevention. Thanks for reporting on it. I wrote about your post in my blog too (with your great pictures), and a reader of my blog wondered if Red Cross in Armenia also bans 'gay blood' (blood from gay men). As you work there now, I thought you may be able to provide with reliable answer. Thanks. Trygve, very appropriate and nicely organised action.
