A reduction of 80% in new Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is expected by 2030. However, high HCV reinfection rates have been reported among the high-risk population. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the HCV reinfection rate after successful treatment of HIV-1 coinfected MSM populations.
Bibliographic databases were searched and a random-effect model was utilized to calculate the pooled HCV reinfection rate. Sub-group and meta-regression were used to explore heterogeneity among selected studies. A funnel plot and Egger's regression test were performed to estimate the publication bias.
Sixteen studies with 9,017.2 person-years (PY) follow-up were included. The overall HCV reinfection rate following successful treatment among HIV-1-infected MSM was 5.27/100 PY (95% CI, 3.98, 6.96). Lower reinfection rates were observed in developed parts of Europe (5.28/100 PY; 95% CI, 3.73, 6.84) and North America (3.92/100 PY; 95% CI, 1.67, 6.17). Reinfection rates among people with HCV test intervals of fewer than 6 months (7.59/100 PY; 95% CI: 5.15, 10.03) were significantly higher than those with more than 6 months test interval (2.88/100 PY; 95% CI: 2.26, 3.50), with an adjusted RR of 1.86 (95% CI, 1.06, 3.13). The adjusted study factors explained 91.03% the of studies' heterogeneity.
HCV reinfection rate was high in successfully treated MSM who were coinfected with HIV-1. A shorter HCV test interval may help to explore more HCV reinfections. HCV reinfection rate studies from HIV-1 coinfected MSM in underdeveloped countries are urgently needed.

预计到 2030 年,新的丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染将减少 80%。然而,高危人群的 HCV 再感染率报告较高。本荟萃分析旨在评估成功治疗 HIV-1 合并感染的男男性行为者(MSM)人群后的 HCV 再感染率。
检索文献数据库,并采用随机效应模型计算 HCV 再感染率的合并率。采用亚组和元回归分析来探索选定研究中的异质性。绘制漏斗图和 Egger 回归检验来评估发表偏倚。
纳入了 16 项研究,随访时间为 9017.2 人年(PY)。HIV-1 感染的 MSM 经成功治疗后,HCV 的总体再感染率为 5.27/100PY(95%CI,3.98,6.96)。在欧洲发达地区(5.28/100PY;95%CI,3.73,6.84)和北美(3.92/100PY;95%CI,1.67,6.17),再感染率较低。HCV 检测间隔少于 6 个月的人群的再感染率(7.59/100PY;95%CI:5.15,10.03)明显高于检测间隔超过 6 个月的人群(2.88/100PY;95%CI:2.26,3.50),调整后的 RR 为 1.86(95%CI,1.06,3.13)。调整后的研究因素解释了 91.03%的研究异质性。
HIV-1 合并感染的成功治疗的 MSM 中,HCV 再感染率较高。缩短 HCV 检测间隔可能有助于发现更多的 HCV 再感染。迫切需要来自欠发达国家的 HIV-1 合并感染的 MSM 中 HCV 再感染率的研究。
