The Alliance Advancement Series
Recovering Organs Under the HOPE Act: Procurement Challenges, Solutions, and Strategies to Maximize Donors
January 14, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm• EST

Is HIV an automatic rule-out for donation? Not necessarily! A disease that was once considered a death sentence and, therefore, an automatic exclusion for organ donation can now make a world of difference for potential transplant recipients living with HIV. Focusing on the procurement phase, this webinar will explore best practices for identifying and managing HIV+ donors, and provide guidelines for navigating the authorization, allocation, and recovery processes.

  • Implement best practices for identifying and managing a potential HIV+ donor.
  • Outline the authorization, allocation, and recovery processes for HIV+ donors.
  • Identify challenges associated with the HOPE Act and HIV+ donation and apply the proposed strategies to overcome those obstacles.
  • Use the resources available through the HOPE Help Line.
