I posted the following elsewhere, and it maybe interesting reading here too:
I received a short but positive response from the DOH this morning. I wrote to them quoting the WPI's letter to McClure, the recent blood bans in other countries imposed upon pwme, and this was their short response:
So, finally, no dismissal, no contrary quotes, or negative studies. So what has changed behind the scenes? I have since emailed the panel to get their info.

Thank you for your further email of 19 April about the xenotropic murine leukaemia virus-related virus (XMRV). I have been asked to reply.
I can assure you that the Department of Health is giving serious consideration to the recent findings on XMRV. The National Expert Panel on New and Emerging Infections will shortly be considering all the available scientific data, and their risk assessment will be used to evaluate any threat to public health and to inform decisions on further research that may be required.
Yours sincerely,
