1. You completely missed the point of the article. The (formerly) HIV-positive patient RECEIVED a donation. 2. HIV is already screened for in blood donations. (Whole blood donations also come with a long list of questions which gauge for some things you might consider "risky behavior", like injection drug use or sexual contact with sex workers.) 3. With proper treatment, most HIV patients today have a non-detectable viral load of HIV in their blood. This doesn't mean that they absolutely CANNOT transmit the virus, but that the quantity of virus is vanishingly small. To quote the NIH[0]: > While it is still possible to transmit HIV to others during [Chronic HIV infection], people who take ART exactly as prescribed and maintain an undetectable viral load have effectively no risk of transmitting HIV to an HIV-negative partner through sex.
