While the search results don't specifically address body donation to science in Massachusetts, it's important to understand that having HIV (even when undetectable) does affect donation options. However, this doesn't mean body donation to science is impossible.

The best approach would be to:
1. Contact local medical schools in Massachusetts directly
2. Speak with your HIV care team about your wishes
3. Work with a lawyer to include these wishes in your advance directives Even with undetectable status, HIV remains present in various body tissues and organs. This is valuable information for medical research. Your donation could potentially help advance HIV research and medical education, benefiting future generations of people living with HIV.

Make sure to discuss this with your family members so they're aware of your wishes, as they may need to help facilitate the donation process.

Not until you complete the video assignment. And watch the dark truth of becoming an organ donor. I don't even like Matt Walsh. But it gave me pause. I need a new drivers license

I will be donating portions of certain organs upon my death, but that will be for research.
