With the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has become a chronic disease with more frequent end-stage organ failures. As a result, the question of transplantation in HIV patients is raised more often. However, some of the HAART regimen medications require elimination or metabolism via the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug-resistant protein (MRP) transporters or via the cytochrome P450 enzyme system. Since these transporters and enzymes are also responsible for the clearance of immunosuppressive drugs, drug-drug interactions are likely to occur. Indeed, profound drug-drug interactions between protease inhibitors and immunosuppressive drugs have been observed and they required reductions in drug dosage. In contrast, HAART using nucleoside or nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors without the use of protease inhibitors has been shown to produce less significant drug-drug interactions. It is thus crucial to take into account those potential pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic drug-drug interactions in order to avoid drug toxicity or a lack of efficacy. The aim of this work was to review and synthesize the international literature on this field in order to give practical recommendations on how to manage immunosuppressive drugs in HIV patients who get transplanted and on how to handle HAART therapy in transplant-recipient patients who get infected with HIV.
