Abstract

The chronic infection by the hepatits C virus represents a serious sanitary problem affecting 1-3% of the world-wide population. It is transmitted by sexual route, vertical route and mainly after blood exposure by percutanea route. While HIV shares similar routes of transmission, the co-infection HCV-HIV is very frequent and the chronic hepatopathy and complications associated with its clinical course are an important cause of morbi-mortality in this population. The gold standard of the treatment for the HCV, has been the interferon and later the combination therapy of interferon plus ribavirine. Currently, the combination of ribavirine and a new pegilated formulation of the interferon has become the standard in the treatment reaching rates of sustained viral response around 40-80%.
