damn rite they should be how the hell congress or whoever made the decision that hivers couldnt just be put on the list like anyone else is heartless and must not ever loved anyone who is positive and no it was not any bodys choice to be positive do people forget that
Although I wrote earlier,that it would be a great idea, the facts of the matter is that the need for immunosupressive agents, would actually make it a contradictory possibility---unfortunately. Our (AIDS pts.) are already immunocompromised---administration of anti-rejection drugs, would only further diminish our immunity...therein lies the problem, with positive to positive or negative to positive organ transplantation..I know BUMMER! GOD BLESS ONES AND ALL!
I think that the idea of allowing +donors to donate to +ppl in need is a fantastic idea, and have inquired about it countless times to my physcians. (I'm a registered nurse), and along with AIDS I suffer from polycystic kidney disease. Let's get pro-active about this ppl!!! Write your congressman!! God bless us, one and all!
my t-cells are over 900 and my viral load is less than 20 so why shouldn't someone be able to take advantage of my death? I won't need them once I'm gone and it would please me to know that I was able to help another person.
Phil the needs of the needy.Grateful is better than Dead- encore- your love will not fade away!Skeptical of live dead,whats unread dormant in anybodys blood-organs? Maybe you feel nobody is safe for a transplant.Your beiiefs aren't positively positive inside equality.
it seems to me that since recipients often need immunosuppressive drugs to prevent organ rejection, HIV and organ donation should go hand in hand anyway
It would seem that this could be a winning situation for everyone involved. A positive person would not be required to take an organ from a positive donor but it could improve the chances of getting a viable donor for both negative and positive recipients. Does anyone know if the change in the law has been proposed? Is it a national or state regulation?

My Registered Domestic Partner and I live in Californina. We are in our mid-forties. He has end stage liver failure and is already on the Liver Transplant List at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. Problem; He is one of those whose MELD score has gone from 20 to 27 and back to 20 but he steadily worsens. I am told there is nothig we can do but wait for a liver after he reaches at least 28 but probably more like 30-35. He may not make it there. We are both HIV+, take the same regimen of anti-retro
