HIV-HCV coinfection: still special in 2015?
1. The UC San Diego AntiViral Research Center sponsors weekly
presentations by infectious disease clinicians, physicians and
researchers. The goal of these presentations is to provide the most
current research, clinical practices and trends in HIV, HBV, HCV, TB
and other infectious diseases of global significance.
The slides from the AIDS Clinical Rounds presentation that you are
about to view are intended for the educational purposes of our
audience. They may not be used for other purposes without the
presenter’s express permission.

4. Special aspects of HIV/HCV coinfection:
Epidemiology/Natural History
• Epidemiology
– Ongoing transmission leading to acute HCV
infection especially among MSMs
– High prevalence of chronic HCV infection
• Natural history
– Rapid progression to cirrhosis despite effective
ART
– Limited access to liver transplantation

Sherman K et al. Clin Infect Dis 2002; Sulkowski M et al. Ann Intern Med 2003.
6. Sexual transmission of HCV among monogamous,
HIV negative, heterosexual partners is rare
• Maximum incidence was 1 case of transmission per 190,000 sexual contacts
Terrault NA et al. Hepatology 2013;57:881-889
7. HCV is a sexually transmitted disease
among HIV-infected MSMs
• 74 HIV-positive MSM
diagnosed with recent HCV
between 2005 and 2010
– No IDU
– Antiretroviral therapy, 74%
– HCV associated with
receptive anal intercourse
(AOR = 23) and sex while on
methamphetamine (AOR
28.56)
• NS5B sequences were
obtained in 50 men
– Phylogenetic analysis
revealed 5 clusters of
genotype 1a

Incidence of HCV in HIV-infected MSM from
12 cohorts within CASCADE
8. Mother-to-child transmission in 77 prospective cohort
studies of at least 10 mother-infant pairs
If 35% of 170 million persons infected with HCV are women of childbearing age,
given an annual fertility rate of 2%, 10,000 – 60,000 babies will be infected each year
Roberts and Yeung. Hepatology 2002
9. HCV in Young Nonurban Injection Drug
Users
• Rising rates of HCV infection among young adults who started
prescription opioid use before transitioning to heroin injection
• Massachusetts – changing epidemiology of HCV (MMWR)
10. 62 year man with HIV and HCV
genotype 1a coinfection
• Currently on DRV/r + TDF/FTC with
undetectable HIV RNA and CD4 551
– CD4 nadir was 30
– HTN, type 2 DM, obesity
• ALT 43 U/L, AST 56 U/L; plt count
145,000, total bilirubin 0.5, Alb 4.3
• He asks about his hepatitis C
