“…513 of AIDS increases over time with 12 per cent of HIV-infected homosexual men developing AIDS five years after seroconversion, 53 per cent within ten years and 61 per cent within 11.8 years. In addition, some researchers have recently questioned the assumption that people infected with the virus will necessarily progress to AIDS (Bulterys 1993, Mineva, 195, Phillips et al 1994, Vanhems et al 1991.…”

This paper addresses the relevance of Parsons' concept of the 'sick role' to the experience of illness in contemporary society by building on recent research, which suggests that the increasing predominance of chronic disease changes the temporal structure of the experience of illness. This has important implications for the structure of social expectations and obligations associated with the 'sick role'. In particular, recent advocates of 'insider' views of illness and the related promotion of ideologies of 'patient empowerment' have contested assumptions of dependency implicit within the concept of the 'sick role', presenting a far more 'independent' and 'proactive' vision of the sick individual. With specific application to a group of people living relatively long term with an HIV positive diagnosis, this paper addresses some of the implicit ambiguities manifest in the selfempowerment ethos, highlighting some implicit dependencies underlying the rhetoric of empowerment and concluding that a more structural analysis of illness experiences, such as that proposed by Parsons, may be apposite.

“…Then, some retrospective analyses performed in transplant recipients revealed the presence of a fraction of patients carrying preoperatively and perioperatively acquired HIV infection [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Those preliminary experiences were generally disappointing, and thus HIV infection, the presence of which was always actively screened for from that point on, became a systematic exclusion criterion from the waiting list for SOT.…”

Before the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy, HIV-infected patients who underwent liver transplantation (LT) had poor survival, mainly because of a rapid progression to AIDS and its infectious complications during the post-LT immunosuppression phase. However, in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy, under some specific and well-determined conditions, LT might be as safe and efficacious in HIV patients as it is in non-HIV-infected patients. End-stage liver failure as caused by hepatitis B virus, cirrhosis, and hepatotoxicity should be considered indications for LT in every transplant center. Because of the almost universal hepatitis C virus reinfection and its accelerated course post-LT, LT in hepatitis C virus-coinfected patients deserves more caution and more extended follow-up before it is accepted as a standard indication for LT in HIV-infected patients.
