Two years of waiting, beaten by a hospital deciding to actually try.
After a two-year wait, an HIV-positive patient got a kidney in under a week through Cedars-Sinai's new HIV-to-HIV transplant program
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles performed its first HIV-to-HIV kidney and liver transplants, giving an HIV-positive patient who had waited over two years for a kidney a new organ within a week of joining the program. The hospital built the program on the HOPE Act, which allows organs from HIV-positive donors to go to HIV-positive recipients, and says the transplants went successfully. It plans to expand the program and take on more patients.
