Patients with HIV/HCV coinfection are more likely to have a variety of factors that add complexities to HCV treatment. In addition to these challenges, patients with HIV/HCV coinfection experience a longer time to treatment initiation while patients with HCV monoinfection were more frequently lost to care. Care delivery models may incorporate this data to improve patient engagement, access, and outcomes.
