And there is a massive supply of HIV positive donors?
That have hearts to donate?
Because they obviously have expired?
Something seems amiss here.

And suddenly 2% of the populace will eliminate the shortage
for the 98%.

I wonder if the recipient is informed of the heart from an HIV-positive donor.

There is always a demand for organ transplants. I guess if you are days from death, taking an HIV positive organ that may allow you to live for several more years doesn’t sound that bad.

Do a heart transplant with an HIV positive heart, and then give the patient powerful immune suppressing drugs to prevent rejection.
What could possibly go wrong?

Pts on hiv meds have higher than normal incidence of heart disease...so not a surprise. Most likely the hiv pos donor had heart disease and kidney disease(hiv infects kidney nephrons) so recipient might have gotten a less than stellar set of organs. I hope the donor isn’t giving the recep. a hiv virus which is resistant to the hiv meds recipient is taking.
All in all...a crappy way to spend ones life.... hope the recipient does well.
hey, just noticed...I didn’t have to use a pronoun to describe the events.

The patient is in her 60’s? HIV patients have accelerated aging because of HIV. I assume they die 14 years early. Average age of death is 74. Hmmm.
To look up articles that explain HIV patients’ accelerated aging, check keywords hivaging and hivacceleratedaging.

Donor AND recipient were HIV positive - HIV to HIV ..... I don’t have a problem with that.

Roughly 1/3 of one percent of the US population is HIV positive.
That's not even a rounding error, and certainly not enough to relieve a shortage of hearts to transplant.

I know that those wanting organ transplants have to go thru a strict strict regime including not having other medical problems besides the obvious...generally a person with heart problems doesn't get very high up on the kidney transplant list, at least that was what happened with my SIL....
transplant patients cost a bundle for the govt and insurances and not just the operation itself, but the follow up with multiple meds....and then of course, the big chance that due to the immune suppression meds the patient actually gets sick with something else....
so this case sounds very very odd....
