Fast Fibrosis Progression Between Repeated Liver Biopsies in Patients Coinfected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Hepatitis C Virus†

Abstract

Fibrosis progresses with high frequency in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients over a period of time of 3 years. Absent-to-mild lobular necroinflammation at baseline, achievement of response with anti-HCV treatment, and effective antiretroviral therapy are associated with slower fibrosis progression.
