We have known Peter since 2006, when he was diagnosed, very late, with both HIV and Hepatitis-B.<\/p>\n<p>Peter responded extremely well to HIV treatment. But unfortunately he was discovered to have a hepato-cellular carcinoma, a common complication of chronic hepatitis-B.\u00a0 In 2007, however, he was lucky enough to undergo a curative liver transplant.<\/p>\n<p>He decided to become a Saving Lives ambassador to increase awareness of HIV, hepatitis-B and the dangers of late diagnosis. Peter made several radio appearances for the charity and was keen to dispel HIV-related stigma, particularly within the African community.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, in 2011 he experienced a rare and late complication of his liver his transplant (hepatic artery thrombosis), and needed to go onto the liver transplant waiting list for a second time. Throughout this two-year period whilst waiting for a suitable donor, he remained upbeat and dedicated to raising awareness amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>He made two awareness videos for Saving Lives last month, which we will publish shortly as was his wish. We post the third video above in tribute to a brave, passionate and gentle man.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, he was called to hospital for a potentially life-saving second liver transplant. He knew that this would be complex and hazardous. Unfortunately and very sadly, after years of remarkable resilience, he didn&#8217;t quite make it this time.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Peter, for all your work. We send our deepest condolences to his wife and family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With great sadness we must report that, on Friday 31st May, one of our founding Saving Lives ambassadors, Peter Kamara, died whilst undergoing liver\u00a0 transplant.
