Kidney transplantation from deceased donors with HIV (HIV D+) to recipients with HIV (HIV R+) was safe and comparable to kidney transplantation from donors without HIV (HIV D-) in a

Kidney transplants between people with HIV are safe and effective, according to a new study. The procedure should be expanded outside of academic settings to help with the national shortage of donor kidneys, the researchers say.

The following is a summary of “Safety of kidney transplantation from donors with HIV,” published in the October 2024 issue of Infectious Disease by Durand et al. Kidney transplantation from donors with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to recipients with HIV emerged as a practice that began in 2016 under the U.

Kidney transplantation from deceased donors with HIV (HIV D+) to recipients with HIV (HIV R+) was safe and comparable to kidney transplantation from donors without HIV (HIV D-) in a multicenter observational study in the United States.

A groundbreaking U.S. study has confirmed that people living with HIV can safely receive kidney transplants from donors who also have the virus. This finding could drastically reduce overall wait times for organs,

A new study found people with HIV can safely receive donated kidneys from deceased donors with the virus. According to Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine, study findings support formally adopting the use of organs from donors with HIV as standard clinical practice for people with HIV in need of kidney transplantation.
