November 21, 2013. With the HOPE Act, HIV positive patients on the current kidney and liver waiting lists can elect to also be open to any organs whose donors were diagnosed with HIV. This would not remove the patients from accepting non-HIV positive organs. However, it does have the potential to significantly shorten a patient's wait time on the kidney and liver deceased donor wait list. The first HIV-to-HIV transplants in the United States were performed on March 30, 2016, at Johns Hopkins University.
