Top2Btm MSM Symposium 2013

Co-infection with hepatitis C increases the risk of death for patients with AIDS by 50%, according to the results of a large study published in the online edition of Clinical Infectious Diseases. A fifth of these deaths were attributable to liver-related causes, five times the rate seen in people with AIDS who were not co-infected.

The investigators also found that a third of co-infected patients were unaware of their hepatitis C infection.
