HIV-Positive livers for HIV-Positive patients: a new hope?

NCT ID NCT07665372

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether people with HIV who need a liver transplant can safely receive a liver from a donor who also had HIV. Researchers will compare infections and cancer rates between those who get an HIV-positive donor liver and those who get an HIV-negative donor liver. The goal is to see if using HIV-positive organs is a safe option to help more people get transplants faster.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

liver transplant from a donor with HIV

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that using livers from HIV-positive donors is safe and effective for people with HIV, expanding the donor pool and reducing wait times.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve health. There may be higher risks of infections or cancer in recipients of HIV-positive donor livers.
