U.S. allows kidney and liver transplants from HIV-positive donors under new rule

kcra.com —

A new federal rule allows people in the U.S. 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 these transplants are safe and effective, improving outcomes for recipients. The rule follows the 2013 HOPE Act, which permitted research on HIV-positive organ 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.
