| Core Tip |
We examined the hepatitis C virus (HCV) care cascade among people living with human immunodeficiency virus who acquired incident HCV infections at a university hospital in Taiwan between 2011 and 2018. We observed high rates of linkage to HCV care and retention in care in both interferon (IFN, 2011 to 2016) and direct-acting antiviral (DAA, 2017 to 2018) eras. The rate of referral to treatment assessment had increased from the IFN era to the DAA era. Moreover, the duration of HCV viremia was markedly shortened because of early diagnosis and linkage to effective treatment in the DAA era compared to that in the IFN era. |
