HOPE in every breath and heartbeat: Understanding transplant eligibility, access barriers, and clinical outcomes in thoracic transplantation in persons with HIV
HIV-seropositive thoracic transplant candidates were more likely to be waitlisted compared to HIV-seronegative candidates. Progression to transplant and waitlist times were similar between candidates with and without HIV. Our study suggests that HIV alone was not a significant barrier to transplantation in PWH when referred and evaluated for thoracic organ transplantation.
