The reason why there are different rules for bone marrow is that there aren't enough donors and if you need a donation and don't get it the odds of you dying are on average quite high - 100% in many cases. Many people in need of bone marrow donations would greatly improve their life expectancy even if the only donor available was absolutely guaranteed to be HIV positive.
