US allows organ transplants from HIV-positive donors to HIV-positive recipients

independent.co.uk — November 28, 2024 at 07:01 PM UTC

The U.S. has approved organ transplants from HIV-positive donors to HIV-positive recipients, effective this week. This change aims to increase the number of available organs, reducing wait times for all patients needing liver and kidney transplants. Health officials noted that research supports the safety and effectiveness of these transplants. Recipients with HIV can expect significantly shorter wait times, dropping from over 60 months to about 10 months. The new policy is part of efforts to reduce stigma around HIV and improve access to care. Nearly 1.2 million people in the U.S. are living with HIV, with many unaware of their status.
