HIV isn't the real problem, it develops into AIDS which infects your helper T cells, so any virus that infects you has deadly potential. Summary of what is written below: Most cases put together have resulted more 80% HIV patients resulting a death as the less than 20% survive such a situation.HIV-positive kidney transplant recipients could have the same one-year survival rates for themselves and their donor organs as those without HIV, if certain risk factors for transplant failure are recognized and tightly managed according to a new study. Earlier, HIV patients were not considered transplant candidates as researchers thought that the survival rates after transplantation were greatly compromised by the disease, which cripples the body''s immune system. Also, transplant patients take drugs that suppress their immune systems in order to prevent organ rejection, a regimen thought to further threaten their already fragile immune systems.
