Optimum combination therapy regimens for HIV/HCV infection

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy
David ReyLionel Piroth

Abstract

HIV-HCV co-infection mostly affects intravenous drug users, in whom prevalence has tended to decrease in recent years, while it has increased in men who have sex with men, with occurrence of acute hepatitis C. Hepatitis C has a poorer prognosis in patients co-infected with HIV, as clinical progression is faster and degree of hepatic fibrosis is greater. However, optimized ARV treatment is clearly associated with slower progression to hepatic complications. Interactions between HCV and HIV drugs are numerous, which underlines the importance of pharmacological advice for HIV-treated patients before they start HCV treatment. In HIV-HCV co-infection, treatment of hepatitis C has to be offered as in mono-infected patients (US and European countries) or to all patients (French guidelines). In most patients, HCV eradication is achieved with different DAA associations, the choice and duration being driven by HCV genotype, hepatic fibrosis stage, and whether patients have been previously treated or not.
