“…Other possible strategies to increase the donor pool include transplantation of HCV-positive deceased donor to the HCV-negative recipients and the protocol for intensive care to facilitate organ donation. 39 In conclusion, kidney transplantation has become the standard of care for HIV-positive ESRD patients. However, the accessibility to kidney transplantation needs to be improved to serve the increasing number of CKD patients with HIV infection in developing countries in SEA.…”

Patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection are at risk of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Human immunodeficiency virus infection impedes patients’ accessibility to transplantation in Thailand and other developing countries in Southeast Asia, where the burdens of human immunodeficiency virus infection and chronic kidney disease are rapidly increasing. We report the successful kidney transplantation in a human immunodeficiency virus–positive recipient in Thailand and provide brief information about the current knowledge of human immunodeficiency virus medicine and transplantation that are needed for conducting kidney transplantations in such patients. Patient selection and evaluation, the choice of antiretroviral therapy, immunosuppressive regimens, and infectious complications are reviewed and discussed. The aim is to encourage kidney transplantation in end-stage renal disease patients with well-controlled human immunodeficiency virus infection, especially in countries where the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus infection is high and the accessibility to transplantation is still limited.
