BACKGROUNDThe HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act allows individuals living with HIV to accept organs from donors with HIV. This practice widens the pool of available organs, but also presents important virological issues, including the potential for HIV superinfection of the recipient, viral persistence in the kidney, and loss of virological control.METHODSWe addressed these issues by performing in-depth longitudinal viral sequence analyses on urine, blood, and urine-derived renal epithelial cells from 12 recipients of HIV+ kidney allografts.

The role of donor-derived tendons, also known as allografts, in anterior cruciate ligament replacement surgeries is steadily increasing. Before surgery, temporary storage and, in most cases, sterilization are essential. It is, thus, crucial to determine how these procedures alter the grafts' biomechanical properties.

Seroconversion rates after COVID-19 vaccination are significantly lower in kidney transplant recipients compared to healthy cohorts. Adaptive immunization strategies are needed to protect these patients from COVID-19. In this prospective observational cohort study, we enrolled 76 kidney transplant recipients with no seroresponse after at least three COVID-19 vaccinations to receive an additional mRNA-1273 vaccination (full dose, 100 μg).

Purpose: In our report, we present a suspected case of donor-derived Acanthamoeba keratitis after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. To the authors' knowledge, there have been no confirmed cases of Acanthamoeba keratitis transmission through corneal transplantation.

Methods: Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty was performed on the right eye of a 33-year-old man with severe bilateral keratoconus and an intolerance to all forms of contact lenses.

Outcomes of donor-derived superinfection screening in HIV-positive to HIV-positive kidney and liver transplantation: a multicentre, prospective, observational study.

Background: One of the primary risks of HIV-positive to HIV-positive organ transplantation is loss of virological control because of donor-derived HIV superinfection, which occurs when an HIV-positive individual becomes infected with a new distinct HIV strain. In this study, as part of the larger HIV Organ Policy Equity pilot study, HIV-positive to HIV-positive kidney and liver transplant recipients in the USA were examined for evidence of sustained donor-derived HIV superinfection.

Methods: In this multicentre, prospective, observational study, HIV-positive to HIV-positive kidney and liver transplant recipients were followed in three hospitals in the USA.
