A study to investigate the impact of the initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy on the hepatitis C virus viral load in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients

Changes in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load (VL) were assessed in a retrospective study of 50 HIV/HCV-coinfected patients who initiated highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Most patients responded to HAART [during the first 6 months, plasma HIV VL fell by a mean 1.39 log10, becoming u...
