Abstract
An estimated 2.3 million people globally are co-infected with HIV and HCV. Liver disease is now a leading cause of non-AIDS-related mortality among HIV-infected patients. The development of direct-acting antiviral agents has revolutionized the treatment of HIV/HCV co-infection with sustained virologic response response rates above 95% in most patient populations. This article provides an update on the management of acute and chronic HCV in patients co-infected with HIV including a section on drug-drug interactions.
