4 Causes of Death Among HIV+ 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% Chronic viral hepatitis 15% 10% 5% 0% AIDS Liver Cardiac Cancer Other Causes of death in 33,308 HIV+ adults followed prospectively in the Data Collection on Adverse Events of Anti-HIV Drugs (D:A:D) study. Adapted from D:A:D Study Group.AIDS 2010, 24:

5 Chronic HCV Epidemiology Worldwide: ~3% (170 million) chronically infected Global prevalence varies depending on area Up to 20% in highly endemic areas such as Nile Delta 5 million are HIV-HCV coinfected United States: % ( million) chronically infected with HCV 8% are HIV-infected 25-30% of HIV+ in US are also HCV+: prevalence varies by transmission risk factor WHO: CDC: Lavanchy D. Clin Microbiol Infect. 2011;17: Ghany, et al. Hepatology.2009;49:
