Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) cause substantial mortality, especially in persons chronically infected with both viruses. HIV infection raises plasma HCV RNA levels and diminishes the response to exogenous alpha interferon (IFN). The degree to which antiretroviral therapy (ART) control of infection overcomes these HIV effects is unknown. Participants with HIV‐HCV coinfection were enrolled in a trial to measure HCV viral kinetics after IFN administration (ΔHCVIFN…

Insight is provided into the dynamic relationship between activated CD4+ TCR diversity and CD4/HCV coinfected individuals after suppression of HIV-1 viremia and the association of decreased activation of T cell receptor sequences may represent loss of nonspecifically activated TCR clonotypes, and possibly selective expansion of specifically activatedCD4+ clones.

Although the early viral kinetics of coinfected subjects treated with PEG-IFN or IFN differ from those of singly infected subjects, the treatment response seems unaffected and suggests that coinfection may contribute to a slower clearance of HCV.

Control of HIV viremia may result in an early increase in HCV viresmia, and for every 1 log decrease of HIV VL there was a 0.14 log increase of HCV VL, indicating the exact mechanism of this flare seen with control of HIVviremia is unknown.

Successful cART is associated with increasing cellular immune responses to HCV core peptides and with a slight long-term decrease in HCV RNA levels, in line with the favourable clinical effects of cART on the natural history of hepatitis C and with the current recommendation to start cART earlier in HCVs coinfected individuals.

A low baseline CD4+ cell count is associated with persistent increases in the HCV RNA load in nelfinavir-treated patients, and results warrant careful interpretation of abnormalities in the ALT load after HAART initiation in HCV-HIV-coinfected patients to prevent premature discontinuation of treatment.
