HCV/HIV Co-infection
• Higher rates of progressive liver disease in HIV/HCV co-infection
• Unclear whether HCV increases HIV progression
• Poor prognosis; unclear whether HIV treatment improves morbidity and mortality for untreated HCV
• Higher rates of ARV-associated hepatotoxicity

HCV/HIV Co-infection: When to Treat
• Strongly recommended for detectable plasma HCV RNA and bridging or portal fibrosis on liver biopsy
• Consider other factors: – Stage and stability of HIV disease – Other comorbidities– Probability of adherence– Possible contraindications to HCV medications– Prognosis for favorable response

Indicators of Decompensated Cirrhosis
• Development of ascites
• Variceal hemorrhage
• Hepatic encephalopathy*
• Jaundice
• Hepatocellular carcinoma*– Screen via ultrasound every 6 months for patients with
cirrhosis or bridging fibrosis
* can occur even in incomplete cirrhosis

Evaluation of Liver Status and Transplantation Referral
• Prognosis via MELD (Model for end stage liver disease) score should be assessed periodically
• Calculator available at:
http://www.mayoclinic.org/mel/mayomodel6.html• Score greater than 10 indicates need for
possible liver transplantation referral
![Page 13: HIV and Hepatitis C Co-infection: Current Standards and New Paradigms Todd S. Wills, MD Associate Professor of Internal Medicine Division of Infectious](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649dba5503460f94aab50a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mental Health Assessment
• Mental Health Referral
• CES-D or PHQ-9 questionnaires
![Page 14: HIV and Hepatitis C Co-infection: Current Standards and New Paradigms Todd S. Wills, MD Associate Professor of Internal Medicine Division of Infectious](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649dba5503460f94aab50a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Factor Predicting Favorable Response
• HCV Genotype 2, 3• HCV RNA level <400,000• IL-28B genotype CC• Non-African American race• Absence of bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis• Body weight <75 kg• Age <40• Baseline ALT > 3x ULN

Adherence• Triple therapy presents
challenges with already busy schedules[143]
– TID dosing– Food requirements
• Data show pegIFN/RBV adherence decreases over time[5]
– Addition of PIs may exacerbate this trend

Boceprevir Interactions with HIV Medications
• No clinically relevant changes in boceprevir exposure when co-administered with ethinyl estradiol or tenofovir.
• Boceprevir AUC and Cmax decreased, minimum concentration (Cmin) fell by about 40% when administered with efavirenz.
• Boceprevir co-administered with ritonavir-booster HIV protease inhibitors may reduce the levels of both drugs.

Telaprevir Interactions with HIV PIs• Telaprevir AUC and Cmin decreased by only about 15%
when administered 750 mg 3-times-daily with boosted atazanavir.
• Telaprevir levels fell by about 50% when administered at the same dose with lopinavir/ritonavir.
• Telaprevir levels decreased by about 30% when taken with darunavir/ritonavir or fosamprenavir/ritonavir.
• Conversely, darunavir and fosamprenavir levels fell by more than half when co-administered with telaprevir.
• Atazanavir Cmin nearly doubled when taken with 750 mg telaprevir.

Telaprevir Dosing Recommendations
• Based on these findings, researchers chose 750 mg 3-times-daily telaprevir plus atazanavir/ritonavir, or telaprevir 1125 mg 3-times-daily with efavirenz as regimens to evaluate in clinical trials of HIV/HCV coinfected patients.

Telaprevir Interactions with Raltegravir
• Co-administration of raltegravir did not influence telaprevir exposure or pharmacokinetics.
• Co-administration of telaprevir increased exposure to raltegravir by 31%.
• The least square means ratios for raltegravir Cmin, Cmax, and AUC12h were 1.78, 1.26, and 1.31, respectively.
• The 2 drugs were generally well-tolerated.• All adverse events were mild-to-moderate (grade
1-2) and no participants discontinued early due to adverse events.

Conclusions
• HCV treatment in HIV-infected patients is of increasing importance as proportion of liver-related morbidity and mortality in HIV increases
• A comprehensive clinical approach is helpful in managing the multiple co-morbidities and treatment related complications in HIV/HCV infected patients
• Novel HCV antivirals are significantly improving disease outcome in HCV
