There is NO cure for aids. Eventually he will die and what is to keep the Hep C from ravaging the new liver?

Giving him a liver would be like giving someone with an inoperable terminal brain tumor a new organ. Pointless.

To be fair, we are all dying. There is no cure for old age. Eventually we will all die.

Handle this case by case and hope for the best. If he has an unusually short lifespan expected, then it may be wise to pass him up for the organ transplant.

It's not unusual for AIDS patients to live for long periods of time - advances in drugs and treatment make living a more full life more realistic.

The article does not say aids - it say HIV.

I think HIV is a little different than an inoperable brain tumor. Magic Johnson doesn't have AIDS and he's been HIV positive for what, 15 years now?

That's not true. But, I agree with the rest of your post. Likely the behavior will not change and his health will be in jeapardy once again.
