They've reduced it to 3 months. And since men who have sex with other men are something like 150 times more likely to contract HIV than other people have sex, it's not unreasonable.The Red Cross also won't accept blood from men who actively have sex with men, even if monogamous. (You have to abstain for at least a year to be eligible.) So I would not use Red Cross eligibility as a "bright line test" for risky behaviour.
