Study Summary

This trial will test if it is safe to transplant a kidney from a deceased person with HIV into another person with HIV.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for HIV+ adults over 18 who have stable health, with CD4+ T-cell counts ≥200/µL and controlled HIV viral load. They must be seeking a kidney transplant without a living donor available, agree to birth control if applicable, and commit to ongoing HIV management. Excluded are pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with certain neurological conditions like PML or CNS lymphoma.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety of kidney transplants from deceased donors who were also HIV positive (HIVD+) in recipients with HIV. It aims to assess major complications related to both the transplant procedure and the management of HIV post-transplant.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, potential risks may include typical transplant-related complications such as organ rejection or infection and any issues arising from managing two concurrent strains of HIV.
