Abstract
I found it nothing short of unbelievable to read in a recent issue of the Journal that organ transplantation was actually being carried out in HIV-positive recipients.* It was encouraging to read that these patients with hemophilia had a temporary increase in the quality of their lives after transplantation. However, three of four patients receiving transplants went on to have AIDS an average of only 1.6 years after surgery, and they died of the disease 2.08 years after receipt of their livers.
