 AB    Over the past two decades, oral and maxillofacial surgeons have gained a
       greater appreciation for the biology of allogeneic bone healing,
       resulting in a dramatic increase in its indications and use.
       Unfortunately, this time period has also ushered in near epidemic
       proportions of HIV-infected persons, some of whom might be considered as
       potential donors of allogeneic bone. As this article will discuss,
       surgeons and tissue bank teams alike must be aware of the clinical and
       serologic criteria associated with an acceptable donor. Only in this way
       can contamination-free specimens be obtained and surgically implanted.
