This month on JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors host two themed discussions around HIV in solid organ transplantation. The conversation begins with a discussion of the paper, "Early experience in heart transplantation utilizing donors with HIV," which appears in the March issue of JHLT.

First author Omar Saeed, MD, MSc, of the Division of Cardiology at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, NY USA, joins the episode.

The conversation includes discussion of:

• The ethics and evolution of the Montefiore program's transplant eligibility and criteria
• The role of the HOPE Act in the changes to the program
• Superinfection, viral strain analysis, and informed consent of organ recipients
• Long-term patient follow upsa nd how other centers can begin this research
