Sustained virological response to peginterferon therapy in patients infected with HCV (genotypes 2 and 3), with or without HIV

Abstract: BackgroundHIV infection leads to a faster progression of liver disease in subjects infected with HCV, as compared with HCV mono-infected patients. Previous reports suggest that sustained virological response (SVR) rates are lower in HIV/HCV coinfection than in HCV monoinfection. We aimed to compare SVR rates of these two populations.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed clinical, biochemical and virological data of HCV and HIV/HCV infected patients with HCV genotypes 2 and 3 who started anti-HCV treatment between… Show more

“…This fact could be because the longer treatment duration in genotype 3-infected patients was made up for the slower viral kinetics. Again, this finding is in accordance with observations from other studies [14,16]. Interestingly, the suppression of HIV RNA had no influence on the achievement of SVR in the HIV-infected subpopulation.…”
