Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) organ donation

HIV-positive individuals can donate organs, but strict screening and testing ensure the safety of recipients. Advances in medicine allow for the use of organs from HIV-positive donors to HIV-positive recipients, effectively managing transmission risks. Donors are carefully evaluated to prevent HIV from spreading to others, and recipients are informed of the donor’s status. This process helps address organ shortages and provides life-saving options for those with HIV. Overall, HIV-positive organ donation is conducted responsibly to minimize risks and maximize benefits for suitable recipients.
