This is really an intelligent question...
It depends on the part of the eye being replaced.
Now , almost all the eye transplants are CORNEAL TRANSPLANTS - i.e. - the outer , anterior , gelatinous , tough part of the eye... These regiong DO NOT HAVE ANY BLOOD VESSELS . the choroid coat , found over the retina - is where blood vessels are concentrated... So, an AIDS patient donating eye - NEED NOT be a problem . The AQUAEUS HUMOR which is also a body fluid - cannot support HIV .. if the transplant-part is tested free of the viral infection ... (i.e.) -the cornea must be separated from the other parts of eye without the slightest contamination...
Thats really a tough job - so rather ask someone HIV-ve

No because..the eyes have blood...and as the blood contains the Hiv virus..the donation of the eye can lead to spread of the virus...as for donation the criteria is to have matching blood type or a unversal donor
