What about folks who can't be organ donors?

Like me.

I've been HIV+ undetectable and healthier than most of my HIV- contemporaries.
Yet I can't even donate blood let alone an organ.

Should people like me be prohibited from receiving an organ?
Or, should people like me be allowed to get an organ, BUT only after other "uncontaminated" people get prioritized first?
What might those priorities be?
Who decides?
Thoughts?
