Patterns of Hepatitis C Virus Transmission in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)–infected and HIV-negative Men Who Have Sex With Men

Abstract

AHI incidence increased in both HIV-infected and HIV-negative MSM. Cluster analysis suggests initial transmission from HIV-infected to HIV-negative MSM through chemsex and traumatic sexual practices, leading to mixed patterns of transmission regardless of HIV status and no overlap with the general population.
