    Prior to any organ, tissue, or part of a human body being transplanted in any human being, the donor shall be tested for the presence of antibodies to the probable causative agent for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), provided that this condition shall not apply if there is a bona fide documentable medical emergency which endangers the life of any person. If the test for the presence of the antibodies is positive, the organ, tissue, or body part shall not be used.
