Hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment in HIV/HCV co-infected individuals has renewed relevance given the ongoing opioid crisis and rise of new HIV and HCV infections associated with injection drug use. Patients co-infected with HIV and HCV demonstrate increased rates of hepatic fibrosis, progression to liver failure, and liver-related mortality. HIV co-infection does not impact outcomes of current HCV treatments, and patients should be treated the same as HCV mono-infected persons, though attention to drug:drug interactions is required. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms mediating injury to the liver in HIV mono-infection and HIV/HCV co-infection, and present the landmark trials of HCV treatment in HIV-infected individuals.
丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)治疗在 HIV/HCV 合并感染个体中具有新的意义,因为阿片类药物危机持续存在,以及与注射毒品使用相关的新的 HIV 和 HCV 感染不断增加。合并 HIV 和 HCV 感染的患者表现出更高的肝纤维化、肝衰竭进展和与肝脏相关的死亡率。HIV 合并感染并不影响目前 HCV 治疗的结果,并且患者应与 HCV 单一感染患者一样接受治疗,尽管需要注意药物相互作用。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了介导 HIV 单一感染和 HIV/HCV 合并感染中肝脏损伤的机制,并介绍了 HIV 感染者 HCV 治疗的里程碑式试验。
