-==Overview==
-In HIV–HCV co-infected patients, the Hepatitis C (HCV) viral load is higher than in HCV-mono-infected patients in both the plasma and liver tissue.
-==Cause of Co-infection==
+==[[HIV coinfection with hepatitis c overview|Overview]]==
-Patients who are HIV-positive are commonly co-infected with HCV due to the following:
-*Shared routes of transmission.
+==[[HIV coinfection with hepatitis c pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
-*Percutaneous exposure to blood.
-*Sexual intercourse.
+==[[HIV coinfection with hepatitis c causes|Causes]]==

-'''1.''' Anti-HCV testing should be performed in all HIV-infected persons ''(Class I, Level B)''.
-'''2.''' HCV RNA testing should be performed to conﬁrm HCV infection in HIV-infected persons who are positive for anti-HCV, as well as in those who are negative and have evidence of unexplained liver disease ''(Class I, Level B)''.
+==[[HIV coinfection with hepatitis c risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
-'''3.''' Hepatitis C should be treated in the HIV/HCV co-infected patient in whom the likelihood of serious liver disease and a treatment response are judged to outweigh the risk of morbidity from the adverse effects of therapy ''(Class I, Level A)''.
+==[[HIV coinfection with hepatitis c natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
-'''4.''' Initial treatment of hepatitis C in most HIV infected patients should be peginterferon alfa plus ribavirin for 48 weeks at doses recommended for HCV mono-infected patients  ''(Class I, Level A)''.
+==Diagnosis==
-'''5.''' When possible, patients receiving [[zidovudine]] (AZT) and especially didanosine (ddI) should be switched to an equivalent antiretroviral agent before beginning therapy with ribavirin ''(Class I, Level C)''.
