Wednesday, October 16, 2024 Kidney Transplantation Between Donors and Recipients with HIV Is Safe Transmission electron micrograph of HIV-1 virus particles (colorized yellow/gold) replicating from an HIV-infected H9 T-cell (purple). Budding virus particles that have not yet separated from the cell appear as semi-circles. A separated, spherical immature particle is seen at center of the image. Image captured at the NIAID Integrated Research Facility (IRF) in Fort Detrick, Maryland. (Credit: NIAID) A NIAID-funded study found kidney transplantation from deceased donors with HIV to recipients with HIV was safe and comparable to kidney transplantation from donors without HIV.
