U.S. allows kidney and liver transplants from HIV-positive donors to patients with HIV

wmur.com — November 28, 2024 at 01:01 PM UTC

A new federal rule allows U.S. patients with HIV to receive kidney and liver transplants from HIV-positive donors without needing to participate in research studies. This change aims to reduce wait times and increase access to transplants. Previously, organ donations from HIV-positive individuals were restricted to research settings. The new regulation, effective immediately, is based on evidence showing that transplants between HIV-positive donors and recipients are safe and effective. The rule follows the 2013 HOPE Act, which permitted research on such transplants. The National Institutes of Health is also seeking public input on expanding similar policies for other organ types, with comments due by December 12.
