Congratulations to the HOPE in Action Investigators from the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC on their new publication in The New England Journal of Medicine!

Their study, “Safety of Kidney Transplantation from Donors with HIV,” found that in kidney transplant candidates who have HIV, the safety of transplantation from donors with HIV was as safe and effective as using kidneys from donors without HIV, supporting expanded options for kidney transplantation in people with HIV.

Excellent work! Read the full journal article:
