1 HCV ECHO WESTERN STATES HCV ECHO WESTERN STATES Treating Hepatitis C and HIV Co Infection Paulina Deming, Pharm D Associate Professor, College of Pharmacy Assistant Director, Viral Hepatitis Programs, Project ECHO University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement No conflicts Original presentation by: Date prepared: Objectives 1. Describe the expected course of treatment for HCV therapy using direct acting antivirals (DAAs) in a patient with HIV 2. Recognize the potential drug interactions with the DAAs, common medications, and HIV antiretrovirals 3. Describe the updated guidelines for HCV testing and treatment in men who have sex with men and in pregnancy Goals of HCV Therapy Cure Defined as sustained virologic response (SVR) Improvements in liver function Improvements in fibrosis, reversal of cirrhosis? Prevent decompensation Improvements in extrahepatic manifestations of HCV Prevent deaths due to liver disease complications Prevent liver cancer Reduce rates of liver cancer recurrence 1
