Overview
HIV has been an important and familiar health and social crisis for two decades. Less familiar, but also important, is HCV infection. 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.
Similarity between Hepatitis C with HIV: These two viruses are similar in a number of ways, and infection with both is a serious problem. Both HCV and HIV are transmitted by exposure to infected blood. About one-quarter of the people infected with HIV also have HCV.
