TL;DR Summary

U.S. health officials have announced a new rule allowing organ transplants from HIV-positive donors to HIV-positive recipients, expanding beyond previous research-only limitations. This change, effective immediately, aims to increase the organ donor pool and reduce wait times for transplants. Supported by research showing similar survival and rejection rates between recipients of HIV-positive and HIV-negative donor organs, this policy shift follows earlier successful transplants in South Africa and the U.S.
