Core Tip Hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection is a major cause of liver related disease among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients, and it has higher rates of morbidity and mortality compared with HCV-monoinfected patients. Direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA) treatment has shown good efficacy in HCV/HIV-coinfected patients and has been found to achieve sustained virologic response (SVR) rates similar to those of HCV-monoinfected patients. The appropriate selection of DAA regiment is of crucial importance, however, and drug interaction with antiretroviral therapy should be taken into account to avoid adverse outcomes and lower rates of SVR.
