“…The risks and benefits of organ transplantation for HIV‐positive to HIV‐positive transplantation are not fully understood. While prior research suggests that outcomes may not be as good for HIV‐positive recipients, when compared to HIV‐negative individuals, the benefits of transplant appear to outweigh the risks . Further, the HOPE Act is expected to increase the number of HIV‐positive and HIV‐negative individuals receiving a kidney or liver.…”

In 2013, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act was passed to permit the conduct of research on the transplantation of organs from donors infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into recipients who are HIV-positive. The HOPE Act workshop had many objectives including the discussion of the ethical issues involved in HIV-positive to HIV-positive transplantation, the informed consent process, and the role of independent advocates in the context of HIV to HIV transplantation. As of 2018, 22 transplant hospitals are approved, or undergoing approval, to perform HIV-positive to HIV-positive transplant surgeries, and this number is expected to grow. This study aims to: (i) briefly review the history and research of HIV+ transplantation prior to the HOPE Act, (ii) describe the ethical principles supporting the HOPE Act, (iii) characterize the informed consent process, and (iv) provide guidance regarding the role of independent advocates in the context of HIV-positive to HIV-positive transplantation.
