Taiwan patients get HIV organs

One of Taiwan's best regarded hospitals said HIV-infected organs were mistakenly transplanted into five patients after a hospital staffer misheard the donor's test results by telephone. The five are now being treated with anti-AIDS drugs, an official at National Taiwan University Hospital in Taipei said Aug. 29. The hospital said on its website the mistake occurred because a transplant staffer believed he heard the English word "non-reactive" on the donor's standard HIV test, while the word "reactive" was actually given.(AP)
