Should people with HIV infection receive transplants?
This paper examines whether potential organ recipients should be screened for HIV/AIDS. Written by a former staff nurse at a liver unit, it outlines the results of a survey of transplant centres. The author argues for pre- and post-test counselling and calls for a protocol to be set up as a guide to testing.
