Interesting - actually saying yes to a transplant is a big step many people cant say yes the first time I could not for example.

I did pass on one kidney where the donor might have been hiv+ - the surgeons second line was don't worry they have really good drugs for HIV now. I still had ok kidney function so thought it was best to let some one else in worse health have the kidney.



I couldn't imagine accepting that. What about having sex? And the cost of drugs? That seems like a ridiculous options. Especially with the "might have"


Depends how ill you are - I was still managing without dialysis at that point.
