“”you free up those organs of non-HIV infected individuals. As it was, many usable organs went to waste and now they can be utilized, which in net positively impacts those without HIV also.””
How so? Why were usable organs going to waste? Does not make any sense.
Those with HIV today, that want to donate an organ, cannot. Their organ is not part of the pool of available organs for people in need.
Under these new rules, those with HIV, can donate organs, and those in need with HIV, can receive those organs.
Whereas in the past, those organs from people with HIV were not usable, and those with HIV would get organs ONLY from people without HIV.
Since in the US about .4% of the adult population has HIV, you’re looking at roughly .4% more organs being available.
Those without HIV are also positively impacted since this means more organs are available for their non-HIV popuation (those with HIV can now get organs from people with HIV).
This is a win-win.
