U.S. health officials allow organ transplants from HIV-positive donors to HIV-positive recipients

medpagetoday.com — November 26, 2024 at 09:01 PM UTC

U.S. health officials announced a new rule allowing organ transplants from HIV-positive donors to HIV-positive recipients. This change, effective Wednesday, expands the donor pool and aims to reduce wait times for all transplant patients. Previously, such transplants were limited to research studies. The new rule is supported by recent research showing similar survival rates and organ rejection rates for recipients of organs from HIV-positive and HIV-negative donors. Since 2013, the U.S. has permitted research on HIV-positive organ donations, with 500 transplants completed to date. The first living donor transplant from an HIV-positive individual occurred in 2019 at Johns Hopkins University.
