β¦ Synopsis
A case of simultaneous infection with HIV and HCV characterized by a rapidly progressive clinical course was studied retrospectively over 3.5 years. Molecular analysis indicated interference between HIV and HCV and between HCV subtypes l a and 1 b. An ineffective immune response was suggested by the persistence and sequence conservation of the HCV HVRl variants isolated during the follow-up. o

## Abstract A study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and risk factors for serological evidence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Tests for antiβHCV antibody were carried out by enzymeβlinked immunoassay (EIA) on 101 HIVβ
Prevalence of GBV-C/HGV was determined in a cohort of HIV-infected patients, via a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction detection of RNA in serum, amplifying the NS5 region of GBV-C/HGV genome. GBV-C/HGV RNA was detected in 143 (37.7%) of 379 patients, with similar results in the differen
