HIV and hepatitis C coinfection

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology
Gail V Matthews, Gregory J Dore

Abstract

The significant burden of HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection is increasingly recognized worldwide, and in particular within the Asia-Pacific region. Individuals who are coinfected with both viruses are at risk from accelerated liver disease and consequently cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In addition, coinfected individuals may have altered immunological responses to HAART and are at increased risk of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-related hepatotoxicity. Treatment for HCV infection in HIV-infected individuals is with standard pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy, and all HIV/HCV coinfected subjects should undergo suitability for HCV treatment assessment. Response rates to HCV therapy are generally 10-15% lower than in HCV monoinfection, and therapy may be complicated by issues of drug interactions and significant toxicity. However, greater understanding of baseline factors can contribute to better prediction of treatment outcome, and monitoring of on-treatment virological responses increasingly allows individualization of therapy. Where possible, treatment of HCV is often advisable before HAART is required to avoid the issues of drug interactions on HCV therapy and the risk of H...Continue Reading
