Obama signs bill for HIV organ donation

"The HOPE Act lifts the research ban, and, in time, it could lead to life-saving organ donations for people living with HIV while ensuring the safety of the organ transplant process and strengthening the national supply of organs for all who need them."


He also said the HOPE Act, which received bipartisan approval in both houses of Congress earlier this year, "marks an important step in the right direction" because improving care for people living with HIV is critical to fighting the epidemic.
