Show Notes: On episode 54 of The Gifted Life Podcast, we are talking about new HOPE, namely the HOPE Act. The HOPE Act, enacted into law in 2013, paves the way for people living with HIV to become organ donors to potential recipients living with HIV. Dr. Christine Durand chats with our hosts about
HOPE in Action, a research study piloted out of John Hopkins University that puts the HOPE Act into practice and is saving more lives. We then welcome in studio guest
Dorian Gray Alexander. Dorian hosts a radio show,
Proof Positive, is an advocate for the HIV+ community, and a member of a popular male dance group in New Orleans called the
610 Stompers. He talks with hosts about the implications of the HOPE Act and even teaches them some dance move during a break! We honor Hero
Anthony Eichmann, talk about getting ready for
National Blue and Green Day, and run into a two-time Superbowl champ with the Giants, who's raising awareness about the need for more
registered organ, eye & tissue donors. Don’t miss this action packed episode of The Gifted Life Podcast.
