NIH Trial to track outcomes of kidney transplantation from HIV+ donors to HIV+ recipients

(NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) The first large-scale clinical trial to study kidney transplantations between people with HIV has begun at clinical centers across the United States. The HOPE in Action Multicenter Kidney Study will determine the safety of this practice by evaluating kidney recipients for potential transplant-related and HIV-related complications following surgery. The study is sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health.
