Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV infections are associated with higher risk of autoimmune diseases and T-cell dysfunction.Setting: We evaluate prevalence and factors associated with the presence of autoimmune antinuclear (ANA), anti–smooth muscle actin (aSMA), and anti–liver kidney microsome (aLKM1) antibodies (Ab) in...

Objectives HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection leads to major complications, and noninvasive markers developed to stage liver fibrosis could be used as prognostic markers. We aimed to compare the performances of liver stiffness (LS), fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), and aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) to predict liver-related...

BACKGROUND:Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV)-coinfected patients with cirrhosis have long been considered to be difficult to treat, and real-life efficacy and tolerance data with all-oral direct-acting antiviral (DAA) combinations in these patients are scarce.METHODS:Cirrhotic HIV/HCV-coinfected patients enrolled in the...

Compared to the general population, HIV-infected patients are at higher risk of developing non-AIDS-defining cancers. Chronic HCV infection has also been associated with a higher risk than that of the general population of developing cancers other than hepatocarcinoma. Evaluation of the impact of HCV-related factors on non-AIDS-defining and non...
