We assessed spontaneous clearance in 27 human immunodeficiency virus-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) who seroconverted for hepatitis C virus (HCV). In contrast with a recent estimate of 45.8%, we found a spontaneous clearance rate of 11.1% (95% confidence interval = 2.4-29.2). This finding suggests that treatment deferral to await spontaneous clearance might not be justified for MSM with sexually acquired HCV.
我们评估了27名感染人类免疫缺陷病毒且与男性发生性行为的男性(男男性行为者)的丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)血清转换后的自发清除情况。与最近估计的45.8%相比,我们发现自发清除率为11.1%(95%置信区间 = 2.4 - 29.2)。这一发现表明,对于通过性传播感染HCV的男男性行为者,等待自发清除而推迟治疗可能不合理。
