BIG NEWS: I sent a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services (@HHSGov) earlier this year urging changes for rules surrounding organ transplants for those living with HIV...we just learned those outdated rules are now GONE. This is a win for #HealthEquity!

Thank you @RepNikema for securing this important policy change. This is a huge win for people living with HIV and all who care about health equity #gapol
