Hepatitis C and HIV Co-infection

A significant proportion of HIV positive people in the UK are co-infected with hepatitis C (approximately 83% of HIV positive injecting drug users and 7% of HIV positive gay men). Hepatitis C is an increasingly important cause of illnesses and death amongst  HIV positive people in the era of effective antiretroviral therapy. Addressing HIV/ hepatitis C co-infection must become a strategic priority within health promotion for, and the healthcare of, those groups most at risk.
