Science Over Stigma: Lessons and Future Direction of HIV-to-HIV Transplantation.
Purpose of Review: The HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act permits transplantation from donors-with-HIV to recipients-with-HIV (HIV D + /R +). We assess HOPE implementation, summarizing progress and challenges at clinical, legislative, and community levels.
Recent Findings: As of July 2021, there have been 300 kidney and 87 liver transplants within HOPE research studies in the USA. Early HIV D + /R + kidney transplant outcomes show excellent patient survival (100%) and graft survival (92%). The number of HOPE donors continues to grow annually but remains lower than projections. State-level policy restrictions are identified in 34 states; however, these do not seem to have impacted practice; 16 states have passed new legislation to facilitate HIV D + /R + transplantation. Stigma related to HIV and low donor registration rates pose additional barriers.
Summary: Early outcomes of HOPE Act transplants are encouraging. Progress to reach full implementation and realize the full benefit of this innovation is ongoing.
