| Abstract: | Complex reciprocal interactions between hepatitis C (HCV) and hepatitis B (HBV) viruses (HBV) have been reported. We examined the influence of HBV on HCV RNA titers in 376 HCV/HIV-coinfected patients (30 were also HBsAg positive). Regression analyses identified negative HBsAg and male sex as factors associated with HCV RNA values >500,000 IU/mL. |
