Options for Treating HIV/HCV Co-Infected Patients

• Dose modification of ARV agents– Limited Data (with efavirenz)– PK interaction may not entirely explain lack of effect– May not be practical (telaprevir “package”)

• Modify ARV regimen (raltegravir-no interaction)– Introduce new toxicity – Risk loss of HIV control

• Treat HCV without HIV therapy– Risk of HIV disease progression– Decrease chance of HCV response
