Pittsburgh man part of medical trial that could change federal law on organ transplants Donnie Little Hamilton discusses how, in 2018, he became the first person in Pennsylvania with HIV to receive a kidney from a donor with HIV as a participant in the HOPE Trial.

Dr. Haidar was the sub-investigator of a national clinical trial that found it is just as safe and effective to transplant kidneys from donors with HIV to patients with HIV as it is to transplant kidneys from donors without HIV to patients with HIV. This trial is helping to change a law that bans such transplants. (Nate Langer, UPMC)
