Abstract
An epidemic of acute hepatitis C is emerging among HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM), with a growing number of cases reported in the MSM population in the United States and Europe. We report a case of a 47-year-old HIV-infected MSM who sexually contracted acute hepatitis C and was treated with pegylated interferon and ribavirin for 24 weeks. After 4 weeks of therapy, the patient's HCV RNA level became undetectable and remained undetectable 1 year after the 24-week treatment course.
