Can a Kidney Donor Have HPV?08/06/2008 |
Would having HPV rule someout out for being a living kidney donor?
Human papilloma viruses (HPVs) have been linked most closely to cancer of the cervix, some skin cancers, and some oropharyngeal cancers. They are not transmitted through transplanted organs. Therefore, someone testing positive for HPV would still be eligible to serve as a living organ donor.
