Determinants of the intention to participate in a programme of plasma donation for fractionation among men who have sex with men.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Several approaches are currently under study to contribute to efforts to allow men who have sex with men (MSM) to donate blood. One of these approaches involves implementing a programme of plasma donation for fractionation, with a quarantine period. The goal of this article is to identify the determinants of intention to participate in the plasma donation programme among MSM in Montreal, Canada.

Materials and methods

Results
