The Impact of Recipient HIV Status on Kidney Transplant Outcomes in the United Kingdom: Have Previous Studies Overestimated Risk?
HIV-positive recipients achieve excellent graft and patient survival, which are no different from HIV-negative recipients on adjusted analyses. Previous studies without ethnicity or socioeconomic-deprivation adjustment have likely overestimated the risks of recipient HIV-positive transplants. HIV-positive recipients with an indication for kidney transplantation should have equitable access to assessment, listing and offers for kidney transplantation.
