AI Summary
Advancements in HIV treatment have improved the lives of those with HIV, but longer lifespans come with new challenges related to age-related comorbidities. Organ transplantation can be a lifesaving option for those with end-stage organ diseases, regardless of their HIV status.
After four decades of global research on HIV, advances in treatment have not only extended the lifespan but significantly improved the wellbeing of those living with HIV, provided they have sufficient access to health care. This success has brought new challenges, given that longer lives come with various life-threatening comorbidities associated with the deterioration of bodily functions during ageing. For patients suffering from end-stage organ diseases, organ transplantation stands as a last resource lifesaving technique, independent of the HIV serological status of an individual.
