HIV transmission via live organ donation can still happen. To be more specific: It has now happened for the first time since 1989. A person suffering from kidney failure -- who had no known history of sexually transmitted infections, injection drug use or high-risk sexual activity -- was given a kidney, and HIV, in 2009.

This should not happen in this day and time. A kidney transplant patient was infected with HIV. What can be done to make sure this does not happen again?
