Abstract: We declare no confl ict of interest. ABSTRACTThe association of HIV infection and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection often occurs because both viruses share the same transmission routes, increasing the possibility of HIV/HCV coinfection. World prevalence greater than 30% of coinfected cases is estimated, and it can reach 90% depending on the transmission route. With the aim of determining the frequency and profi le of HIV/HCV coinfected patients, a descriptive analysis was carried out with patients with HIV/AID… Show more

“…HBV/HIV and HCV/HIV prevalences were 3.7% and 5.4% respectively. These are in accordance with other Brazilian published data, in which values ranged from 2.8%-4.6% for HBV/HIV co-infection (7,15,19) and 4%-6.4% for HCV/HIV association (6,7,17) . Similar to our study, these researches tested HIV patients who were in medical follow-up in infectious disease centers in four distinct Brazilian cities: São Paulo, Porto Alegre, Amazonas and Vitória.…”

“…The infection caused by Cryptosporidium sp. in HIV-1/AIDS patients has been attributed to the immune system reconstitution by HAART, even in patients without specific treatment for the parasite [29][30][31] . Besides, both the in vivo and the in vitro evidence shows that the control of cryptosporidiosis in patients under HAART is caused by protease inhibitors [32][33][34] , which could be interfering with this protozoan`s aspartyl protease function 35 .…”

“…At a reference hospital in Manaus, 46.8% of patients with AIDS had positive cultures for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and 9.3% had positive cultures for non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (10) . HIV/AIDS patients attended at the same reference hospital displayed a prevalence of coinfection with chronic hepatitis B carriage of 6.4% (11) , a hepatitis B past infection rate of 40.2% (11) , a hepatitis C infection rate of 4.42% (12) , a leprosy infection rate of 0.76% (13) , and an anal squamous intraepithelial lesion rate of 38.3% (14) .…”
