JHLT: The Podcast continues a themed month on HIV infection in solid organ transplant, building on our last episode's exploration from Dr. Saeed at Montefiore in New York. Our guest this episode is infectious diseases expert Cameron Wolfe, MD , Professor of Medicine at Duke University Medical Center. He joined us while on sabbatical with his family in Brisbane Australia for a conversation about how transplant centers now consider HIV infection, including transplant recipients who are HIV positive. The discussion explores: How the HOPE Act of 2013 changed practice in the United States, and how other countries have handled HIV transplantation regulations Immunosuppresion, antiviral therapy, and opportunistic infection in HIV+ transplant recipients Whether organ-specific surveillance changes in HIV+ patients The ethics of using organs from HIV+ donors and ensuring HIV+ patients are treated equitably For the latest studies from JHLT , visit , or, if you're an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at .
