Title
Solid Organ Transplantation in HIV Positive Patients
Abstract
Transplantation in recent years has become a viable option to treat end stage organ failure in people living with HIV infection. Significant advances in the understanding of appropriate immunosuppression management and infection prevention have resulted in graft and patient survival comparable to HIV-negative recipients in many cases. Given the higher incidence of end stage organ disease in HIV positive patients, particularly liver cirrhosis and dialysis dependent renal failure, transplant should be considered as a viable pathway for these patients. Furthermore, encouraging results are starting to emerge regarding using HIVpositive organ donors, both living and deceased.
