1. Can LGBTQIA+ individuals register to be organ donors?

Yes. Everyone—regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression—can register to be an organ donor. Who you love or how you identify does not impact your ability to give the gift of life.

2. Are there any restrictions for LGBTQIA+ individuals with medical conditions?

No one is automatically excluded from donation based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or health history. Each potential donor is evaluated based on individual risk factors and medical condition at the time of death. Don't count yourself out—register your decision and let medical professionals assess your eligibility if the time comes.

3. Will my gender identity be respected during the donation process?

Yes. Healthcare professionals are committed to providing equitable and respectful care. You can help ensure your identity is honored by documenting your gender identity and pronouns in legal and medical records, including care plans.

4. What if I'm on PrEP or HIV medication?

Being on PrEP, HIV medication, or other related treatments does not automatically prevent you from becoming a deceased donor. Each potential donor is evaluated based on individual risk factors and medical condition at the time of death.

5. Why should I register as an organ donor?

Organ donation can save up to eight lives and improve many more. It's a powerful act of solidarity, compassion, and care—values that resonate deeply in queer communities and beyond.
