What HIV Clinicians Should Know (and Do) About HCV Coinfection
Mascolini, M   RITA Summer 2014

HCV infection remains among the most difficult-to-manage comorbidities in people with HIV. But care for HCV-coinfected people changed dramatically with
the advent of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), as it has for everyone with HCV. This issue of Research Initiative, Treatment Action (RITA) examines how
DAAs have already transformed treatment of HCV infection and considers how they may continue to do so. A practice-oriented interview with HCV/HIV expert
Douglas Dieterich
offers nuts-and-bolts advice on prescribing DAAs for coinfected people and encourages more involvement by HIV clinicians in HCV management.
A second review article dissects perhaps the most controversial question about HCV/HIV coinfection—does HCV make HIV infection worse? Scores of studies
addressing different aspects of this question are almost evenly split in their conclusions. The RITA article suggests how HIV clinicians with coinfected patients may
work their way out of this data maze.
A final review analyzes sexual HCV transmission among gay and bisexual men. Early research rated sexual HCV
transmission a rare event. But that thinking—still echoed in some online CDC material—stands starkly at odds with an explosive HCV epidemic documented in gays
and bisexuals who do not inject drugs.
