Liver Fibrosis progression using Fibroscan in HIV/HCV coinfected patients with undetectable HIV viral load

Introduction: Several factors such as duration of infection, age, male gender, consumption of alcohol, HIV infection and low CD4 count have been associated with fibrosis progression rate. However, it is relatively scarce, the knowledge about the liver fibrosis progression rate in HIV-infected patients with undetectable HIV viral load (VL). For this reason, we performed the present study. Materials and Methods: Observational and multicenter study (2008–2012) conducted in four hospitals of the northern Spain. HIV/HCV (hepatitis c) virus coinfected patients ≥18 years on stable combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) (≥6 months) and with a HIV VL
