Data presented at CROI 2026 showed comparable long-term liver transplant outcomes after 15 years between people with and without HIV.
“These results are encouraging and support liver transplants in people with HIV when clinically indicated,” Dr José Miró, from the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, Spain, told the audience.
End-stage liver disease and liver cancer are recognised complications of advanced hepatitis C and/or hepatitis B co-infection and may necessitate a liver transplant. Previously, short- and mid-term data comparing outcomes to those without HIV have been reported, but long-term data are rare, with no European studies having been done.
Prior research from a cohort in San Francisco only included a single centre in the study, with no co-morbidity data. Thus, Miró and colleagues set out to compare long-term outcomes, while also accounting for co-morbidities that may have an impact on outcomes.
