Awareness of organ donation among people living with HIV in Canada: a cross-sectional study

Our findings revealed a general lack of awareness among Canadians with HIV of the possibilities of post-mortem organ and tissue donation. Since awareness is a key determinant of registration, future efforts should be made to include accurate and up-to-date information on organ donation from people living with HIV in regular HIV care. By ensuring frequent and transparent communication, we open the door to new opportunities for transplantation while also addressing misconceptions and reducing the stigma surrounding HIV care.
