Abstract:
Abstract: Only a decade ago, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)‐seropositivity was considered an absolute contraindication for organ transplantation. With the currently available experience, it is no longer justified to deny HIV‐positive patients access to transplantation. To the best of our knowledge, we here present the longest surviving HIV‐positive patient after renal transplantation. The follow‐up period after renal transplantation in this HIV‐positive female is now 13 yr and she is in good general condition with excellent renal function. Throughout her post‐transplant follow‐up, we encountered a number of problems that are illustrative of the HIV‐positive patient.
