Although there is evidence that hepatitis C virus (HCV) progresses rapidly in HIV/HCV-
coinfected patients in comparison with HCV monoinfected, the HIV-, HCV-, and host-/genetic-
related factors, as well as the exact mechanisms implicated in this process, are not fully
elucidated. Furthermore, cure of HCV in those coinfected seems possible with the new
antiviral drugs, but high cost as well as insufficient identification, linkage with care, and
treatment hamper the achievement of this goal. Research on the individual could reveal an …
