Following the deadliest mass shooting in United States history080p Archives 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."

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