Switched from Tacrolimus to Belatacept

My doctor has advised me to switch from Tacrolimus to Belatacept, but I’m not Epstein Barr virus positive. I’ve been reading that I should not take Belatacept if I’ve never been exposed to EBV. Has anyone been taking Belatacept without having tested positive for EBV? If so, what is your experience?

@ehu, good for you for researching and advocating. I think you're asking the right questions and should ask your transplant team about switching if you are not Epstein Barr positive. I'd be interested in hearing what you learn.
