Revised Hepatitis C (HCV)/HIV Coinfection Section of the Adult and Adolescent Antiretroviral Treatment Guidelines Released

The HHS Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents announces the release of the updated Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1-Infected Adults and Adolescents. As described in What's New in the Guidelines, this interim revision of the guidelines features a revised section on Hepatitis C (HCV)/HIV Coinfection that emphasizes considerations for use of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs in patients who also receive treatment for HCV infection. The section includes a new table (Table 12) that provides clinicians with guidance on the concomitant use of HCV drugs and ARV drugs with a focus on potential pharmacokinetic drug interactions.   To view or download the guidelines, go to the Adult and Adolescent ARV Guidelines section of AIDSinfo. Separate PDF files that include only the guideline tables or boxed recommendations can also be downloaded from the page.   Forward Comments on the Revised Guidelines to AIDSinfo Feedback on the revised Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1-Infected Adults and Adolescents is welcome.
