Although patient and graft survival increasingly parallel those of HIV\u2010negative recipients, optimizing immunosuppressive therapy\u2014particularly tacrolimus\u2014remains a major clinical challenge in this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review examines the mechanisms and clinical consequences of ART\u2013tacrolimus drug\u2013drug interactions, evaluates the role of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), and highlights emerging strategies to improve attainment of target tacrolimus trough levels in PLWH undergoing transplantation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Contents<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Tacrolimus has a narrow therapeutic index and is highly susceptible to cytochrome P450 3A4\u2013mediated interactions with ART, especially protease inhibitor\u2010 and cobicistat\u2010based regimens. These interactions often necessitate extreme dose reductions, result in marked pharmacokinetic variability, and complicate maintenance of stable trough concentrations. Subtherapeutic exposure is associated with increased rejection risk, whereas supratherapeutic levels increase nephrotoxicity and infection. While integrase strand transfer inhibitor\u2010based regimens reduce interaction burden, many PLWH remain on boosted ART, underscoring the importance of intensive TDM. This review also discusses tacrolimus formulation choice as a modifiable factor, with growing evidence supporting liquid tacrolimus to enable micro\u2010dose titration and improve time in therapeutic range. Emerging pharmacometric approaches, including population pharmacokinetic modeling and Bayesian dosing, offer additional opportunities for precision immunosuppression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Optimizing tacrolimus exposure\u2014rather than HIV status itself\u2014is central to transplant outcomes in PLWH. Integrating ART\u2010informed dosing, formulation flexibility, and advanced TDM strategies may reduce variability, improve graft outcomes, and inform future guideline development for this expanding
