This case report describes long-term outcomes in a living donor-derived HIV transmission to a kidney transplant recipient, where the donor showed no evidence of abnormal renal function and the recipient continued to have a functioning graft, with both individuals having well-controlled HIV. This highlights the possibility of acceptable long-term outcomes in living kidney donors with HIV as well as in donor-derived HIV transmission to kidney transplant recipients.
HIV transmission via solid organ transplant is a rare but serious complication. Here, we describe long-term outcomes in a case of living donor-derived transmission of HIV in a kidney transplant recipient. After 11 years since transplant surgery, the donor shows no evidence of abnormal renal function, while the recipient continues to have a functioning graft. HIV is well controlled in both individuals. This single case report highlights the possibility of acceptable long-term outcomes in living kidney donors with HIV as well as in donor-derived HIV transmission to kidney transplant recipients.
