AB - The best way to treat end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and increase survival and quality of life is with a kidney transplant. Concerns regarding viral transmission and graft survival led to the long-standing policy of not transplanting organs from donors who tested positive for HIV. Antiretroviral treatment (ART) developments have necessitated a new assessment of this position. New studies on the safety and results of organ transplants from HIV-positive donors to HIV-positive recipients were encouraged by the HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act of 2013, which legalised the practice in the United States. In this study, we take a look at the safety of kidney transplantation from donors who are HIV +. We cover the present data, the dangers, the possible advantages, and the problems in this field of transplantation.
