Nov 26, 2024, 06:07 PM

The Biden administration has introduced a new rule that will allow people with HIV to receive kidney and liver transplants from donors who are also HIV-positive. This rule, set to take effect on Wednesday, aims to shorten wait times for organs by expanding the pool of available donors. U.S. health officials announced the rule on Tuesday, which is expected to benefit those in need of transplants by increasing the supply of organs.
