T2  - Liver Transplantation: Operative Techniques and Medical Management
AB  - With  the  introduction  of  combined  antiretroviral  therapy  (cART),  human  immunodeficiency  virus  (HIV)  is  now  considered  a  chronic  illness  and  no  longer  considered  an  absolute  contraindication  to  liver  transplantation  (LT).1As  HIV-infected  patients  live  longer,  liver  transplantation  is  a  reasonable  option  in  those  with  advanced  liver  disease  in  the  ART  era.  Multiple  studies  have  shown  promising  results  in  ART-treated  patients  with  suppressed  HIV  RNA,  stable  CD4  counts,  and  no  significant  increase  in  opportunistic  infections  after  LT.  See  Table  18-1  for  a  generally  accepted  description  for  stable  disease.2
