Liver Transplantation in a Patient with HIV and Hepatitis B Co-infection

HIV-infected individuals may develop co-infection and liver failure due to hepatitis viruses sharing similar transmission routes. While HIV infection was considered a contraindication for liver transplantation in the past, liver transplantation can be performed in these patients today as a result of the progress made in antiretroviral therapies. In this article, we described the liver transplantation procedure we performed on a patient infected with HIV and Hepatitis B virus and on antiretroviral therapy. Post-transplant follow-up and treatment of these patients should be performed carefully and meticulously by a multidisciplinary team.
