Paired kidney exchange and Prep

1 Reply

I have been on the paired kidney exchange for 3 yrs , obviously with the pandemic the process has taken a big hit bring cancelled/delayed.

In this time being bisexual I have started on PrEP... My question "Is being on PrEP going to stop me being a live donor".

I am regularly Gum checked every 3 months. As the NHS sexual health are confidential and don't talk to other NHS bodies is it something I have to disclose.

Hi VgnOx, how wonderful of you for stepping up to be a living donor! It's an amazing, rewarding experience for the many living donors I know. Has your transplant center provided an answer to your question? It seems only they can address any question about requirements for being a donor. Best wishes to you.
