Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV share the same parenteral routes of transmission. This common epidemiology explains the high frequency of combined infections by HCV and HIV. The aim of this review is to clarify some important issues dealing with the reciprocal impact of HIV and HCV-associated infections, including the variations in clinical, biologic, histopathologic, and virologic natural history of both infections. Insights gained may improve clinical care of and the therapeutic approach to HCV infection in HIV-coinfected subjects.
