Hepatitis C Management in Special Populations
Summary
- HIV infection alters the natural history of HCV disease and is associated with increased chronicity, accelerated progression to end-stage liver disease, and increased risk of liver-related death[Weber 2006; Soriano 2013]
- Urgency for HCV treatment is greater in HCV/HIV-coinfected persons than in HCV monoinfection
- Successful treatment of HCV may improve the tolerability of ART by reducing risk of hepatotoxicity[Labarga 2007; Soriano 1996]
