Early Experiences with Heart Transplant Using HIV+ Donors on JHLT The Podcast
This month on JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors will host two themed discussions around HIV in solid organ transplantation. The conversation begins with a discussion on the paper, “Early experience in heart transplantation utilizing donors with HIV,” which appears in the March issue of JHLT.
The guest for the first episode is author Omar Saeed, MD, MSc, of the Division of Cardiology at Montefiore Medical Center in New York.

- Long-term patient follow ups and how other centers can begin this research
