JHLT the Podcast Discusses Solid Organ Transplantation and HIV Infection
JHLT: The Podcast continues a themed month on HIV infection in solid organ transplant, building on last episode's exploration of a paper from Montefiore in the March issue of JHLT.
The guest this episode is infectious diseases expert Cameron Wolfe, MD, Professor of Medicine at Duke University Medical Center. He joined us while on sabbatical with his family in Brisbane Australia for a conversation about how transplant centers now consider HIV infection, including transplant recipients who are HIV positive.
