立院三讀 開放愛滋病患可捐器官給愛滋病患
依《人類免疫缺乏病毒傳染防治及感染者權益保障條例》，愛滋感染者一旦經檢驗確認罹病，便不得進行捐贈器官；為顧及愛滋感染者的器官捐贈需求，行政院提出修法，讓愛滋感染者在事前簽署同意書的情況下，可接受其他感染者的器官移植，立法院18日三讀通過此案。
據現行規定，在採血供他人輸血、製造血液製劑，或施行器官、組織、體液或細胞移植之前，得事先實施人類免疫缺乏病毒相關檢驗，一旦呈陽性反應（遭感染）便不得使用，違者將處3~15萬元罰鍰，若因此使人感染愛滋，更將處3~10年的有期徒刑。
不過，行政院提案，在事前簽署同意書的情況下，愛滋感染者可接受其他感染者的器官移植；此案也獲藍綠立委支持，國民黨立委陳宜民指出，有鑑於醫療科技進步，大幅改善人類免疫缺乏病毒感染患者之生存年限，唯現行國內器 官捐贈風氣尚未成形，可捐贈器官嚴重缺乏，參考美國希望法案(HIV Organ Policy Equity Act )之精神，在兼顧公平、倫理暨人權之原則下，讓人類免疫缺乏症候群患者間得以相互器官移植。

Amendments to the HIV Infection Control and Patient Rights Protection Act (人類免疫缺乏病毒傳染防治及感染者權益保障條例) that allow organ transplants between HIV-positive people cleared the legislative floor yesterday.
The amendments would allow HIV-positive people to donate organs, bodily fluids, tissue or cells to other HIV carriers as long as the recipients sign an agreement to undergo the transplant.
The organs, bodily fluids, tissue and cells of people with HIV are otherwise unusable, and those who offer to donate such body parts to HIV-negative people would risk a fine of between NT$30,000 and NT$150,000, one amendment says.
The amendments were proposed while taking into consideration the need for organ transplants by HIV-positive people and after referencing the US’ HIV Organ Policy Equity Act and successful organ transplants in the UK between HIV-positive people, the Executive Yuan said, explaining its version of the legislation.
As of Sept. 30 last year, there were 33,850 HIV-positive people in Taiwan, all of whom could be potential donors or recipients for organ transplants, said Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Arthur Chen (陳宜民), who helped push for the legislation.
Apart from the US and the UK, Spain has also allowed organ transplants between HIV-positive people, he said.
