Emerging Clinical Issue: Hepatitis C Infection in HIV-Infected Men Who Have Sex with Men

Emerging Clinical Issue: Hepatitis C Infection in HIV-Infected Men Who Have Sex with Men is organized by National LGBTQIA+ Health Education Center.

Description:
Approximately 3.2 million individuals in the United States are infected with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infection. While injection drug use is the most common mode of transmission, growing evidence indicates that the virus is also being spread through sexual contact, particularly among HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM). In this clinical brief, we review what is known about the epidemiology of HCV among HIV-infected MSM, as well as current screening, treatment, and prevention recommendations for HCV.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
