✓. Opportunistic Complications: None or previous history of protocol allowed opportunistic infections or neoplasms with appropriate acute and maintenance therapy and no evidence of active disease.
✓. Participant CD4+ T-cell count is \>/= 200/μL prior to renal transplant or for liver transplant is \>/= 100/μL within 16 weeks prior to transplant and no history of opportunistic infection (OI); or ≥200 μL if history of OI is present.
✓. Participant HIV-1 RNA \< 50 copies/mL (by any FDA-approved assay performed in CLIA-approved laboratory), in the 26 weeks prior to transplant. Non-consecutive viral "blips" between 50-400 copies RNA/mL will be allowed.

✕. Participant has a history of any neoplasm except for the following: resolved kaposi's sarcoma, in situ anogenital carcinoma, adequatelytreated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, solid tumors (except primary CNS lymphoma) treated with curative therapy and disease free for more than 5 years. History of renal cell carcinoma requires disease free state for 2 years. History of leukemia and disease-free duration will be per site policy.
