DAA Therapy and HCC Risk in HIV-HCV Coinfection: Decline Over Time
Overview: HIV, HCV, and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major concern for people living with HIV who have a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Even after successful HCV cure with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), researchers have observed that the risk of developing HCC does not disappear entirely. This evolving…

Scotland Nears WHO Target as Hepatitis C Incidence Falls Among PWID
Scotland Nears WHO Target for Hepatitis C Elimination Scotland is edging closer to the World Health Organization’s hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination target as a new modelling study reveals a significant drop in HCV incidence among people who inject drugs (PWID). The findings, drawn from one of the largest long-term cohorts of PWID, underscore the…
