First HIV positive recipient in USA received a live donor liver transplant in 1999 at New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital. She is alive and well today and living a full and fabulous life.

At the time, only New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital and a hospital in Richmond, Virginia were willing to take the case.
