| Core Tip |
Patients living with both end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have faced barriers accessing the kidney transplant waiting list. The HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) act in 2013 and the HOPE act variance in 2015 restricted HIV positive donor (+D) to HIV positive recipient (+R) transplants to research protocols. Federal regulatory changes in 2024-2025 removed the above research restrictions for transplant centers. The evidence supports kidney transplantation as the standard of care for patients living with both ESKD and HIV, and that HIV +D to HIV +R transplantation is non-inferior to the use of donors without HIV for candidates living with HIV. |
