New study shows that safe kidney transplants from HIV-positive donors could change how organs are donated.
Reading
A new study shows that people with HIV can safely get kidneys from donors who also had HIV. This is good news because it could help more people get kidney transplants faster.
The study looked at almost 200 kidney transplants where the donor had HIV. The results showed that these transplants were just as safe as transplants from donors without HIV.
The U.S. government is working on a new rule that would allow these types of transplants to happen more often. If approved, this rule could help people with HIV get organ transplants sooner.
Right now, many people with HIV don't sign up to be organ donors because of old rules and beliefs. But this study shows that people with HIV can be organ donors and help others with HIV.
Many people are waiting for kidney transplants, and some die waiting. This study could lead to more organ donations and help save lives.
