Ambiguous
The National Blood Transfusion Center establishes that among the requirements for donating blood are "answering a health questionnaire" and "not belonging to a risk population category" which could make donation difficult for LGBT people.

There are no official sources from the Ministry of Health regarding the requirements for donating blood. The hostile situation regarding access to health care for LGBT people makes it unlikely that they can donate blood without facing legal and social discrimination.
