Although
donors with certain medical conditions or diseases cannot
donate tissue and eyes, they can donate organs to others
with the same medical conditions or diseases.
For
example, an AIDS patient can donate his or her heart to
another AIDS patient. He or she cannot donate a heart
to a non-AIDS patient.
HIV/AIDS/Hepatitis
patients eligible for the waiting list do not necesarily have
to wait for an HIV/AIDS/Hepatitis donor. Their chances
for receiving an organ are equal to that of an otherwise healthy
recipient.
