US HIV patients want right to HIV organ transplants (PinkNews) 
HIV-positive patients in the US are lobbying for the right to receive HIV-infected transplant organs.
They argue that there are hundreds of HIV-infected organs available every year and that making the change would save lives and give more people the chance of a transplant.
The campaign is supported by some medical professionals, who say there is no reason why an HIV-positive person cannot receive an HIV-positive organ.
Under the National Organ Transplant Act, it is illegal to transplant organs from HIV-positive donors.
