Tacrolimus, Sirolimus and Everolimus Doses in HIV-Infected Solid-Organ Recipients, Requiring a Cobicistat-Based Antiretroviral Regimen: Report of Three Cases and Review.

People living with HIV should be considered candidates for solid-organ transplantation (SOT). However, managing HIV-infected patients undergoing SOT represents a major challenge due to the potential drug-drug interactions between antiretroviral drugs and immunosuppressive agents, particularly when resorting to antiretroviral drugs that require pharmacokinetic enhancers. We report three cases of cobicistat-tacrolimus co-administration, two of which also include the co-administration of mTOR inhibitors, in HIV-positive patients undergoing SOT (2 kidney and 1 liver recipient). We review previously reported cases and provide recommendations for initial management following transplantation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
