“…In HIV/ HCV-co-infected patients, an independent association has been reported between CD4 cell depletion and HCC onset [34][35][36]. However, some of these studies only examined the absolute CD4 cell count and not the CD4 cell percentage [34,36], while it is well established that extensive fibrosis is associated with low absolute CD4 cell counts in the absence of HIV infection [37]. In our study, which included only cirrhotic patients, no associations were found between the occurrence of HCC and the CD4 cell nadir, the CD4 cell count (absolute or percentage), the duration of HIV infection, the CDC class of HIV disease or a lack of HIV suppression.…”

“…In keeping with previous reports, we found that older age was associated with a higher risk of HCC. In HIV/ HCV-co-infected patients, an independent association has been reported between CD4 cell depletion and HCC onset [34][35][36]. However, some of these studies only examined the absolute CD4 cell count and not the CD4 cell percentage [34,36], while it is well established that extensive fibrosis is associated with low absolute CD4 cell counts in the absence of HIV infection [37].…”

“…9;10 These studies only had 26 and 16 cases of HCC, respectively, and were not restricted to those with HCV coinfection. In addition, Ioannou et al examined all veterans with HIV and did not limit to those at the highest risk for HCC.…”

“…9 While another small study conducted in France in only 16 HIV-infected cases with HCC (3 with HBV and 11 with HCV) demonstrated that current CD4+ <350 was independently associated with increased risk for HCC. 10 Finally, Ioannou et al examined the prevalence of cirrhosis and HCC in US veterans with HIV and reported that a detectable HIV viral load at the time of HCC diagnosis was not associated with HCC risk, while low CD4+ count was associated with an increased risk for HCC (AOR=2.36; 95%CI: 1.3–4.2). 11 This study was not limited to veterans with HCV coinfection and only examined HIV viral loads and CD4+ counts in a two year period.…”

“…In studies performed in the pre-cART era, co-infection of HIV and HCV increased the risk of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis 196 , while cART decreased progression to cirrhosis in HIV/HCV co-infected patients 197 . Decreased CD4 + T-cell count (< 200–500 cells/mm 3 ) has been associated with risk for HCC in several small studies 198,199 , and confirmed in a large retrospective study involving 8,563 veterans co-infected with HIV and HCV. The risk of HCC in co-infected patients was increased compared to patients infected with HCV only.…”
