%X The goal of treating chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is sustained virologic response (SVR). There is concern that despite achieving SVR, replication-competent HCV may be sequestered at low levels within the liver and could theoretically reactivate with immunosuppression. We report transplantation of a HCV-seropositive liver donor, who achieved SVR, into a seronegative patient without HCV reactivation despite profound immunosuppression
