NOTA BENE
Donation is an act of liberality whereby a person disposes gratuitously of a thing or
right in favor of another, who accepts it.237
As a rule, all donated blood shall be subjected to HIV testing.
Donated tissues or organs shall be accepted by a laboratory or institution only after
the donor tested negative for HIV. The donation is said to be gratuitous, or a simple
donation, when the reason for donation is mere liberality or generosity. The donation,
however, is considered onerous when it is burdened with charges or future services equal
in value of the item donated.
All donors who are positive for HIV shall be deferred for donation. However, blood,
tissues, and organs of donors who tested positive for HIV may only be accepted for
purposes of research.
Note that under R.A. No. 7719, once a blood unit has been tested or screened by
blood centers, it shall not be retested. However, the present HIV/AIDS law provides for
the exception of this prohibition that a second test may be demanded as a matter of right
by the recipient or his/her immediate relatives before transfusion or transplant. As an
exception to this exception, the second test may be dispensed with during emergency
cases.
