Cuomo G, et al. - Given that men who had sex with men (MSM) living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were at higher risk of developing sexual transmitted diseases, the researchers reported two years incidence rate and prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a cohort of HIV positive MSM. For this analysis, MSM HIV-positive outpatients negative to HCV-Ab at first observation entered a Kaplan-Meier model in order to evaluate the HCV infection incidence rate. Four hundred twenty-one patients entered the incidence analysis. It was observed in the findings that incidence and prevalence rate of HCV amongst MSM HIV-positive patients was higher than in other settings. Results suggested that annual HCV-Ab screening for MSM HIV-positive patients should be enforced and early treatment of HCV recommended.
