Objective: It is unknown whether hepatitis C virus (HCV)-cured people with HIV (PWH) without cirrhosis reached the same mortality risk as HCV-uninfected PWH. We aimed to compare mortality in PWH cured of HCV by direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) to mortality in individuals with HIV monoinfection.Design: Nationwide hospital cohort.Methods: HIV-controlled participants without cirrhosis and HCV-cured by DAAs started between September 2013 and September 2020, were matched on age (AE5 years), sex, HIV transmission group, AIDS status, and body mass index (BMI) (AE1 kg/m 2 ) to up to 10 participants with a virally suppressed HIV monoinfection followed at the time of HCV cure AE6 months. Poisson regression models with robust variance estimates were used to compare mortality in both groups after adjusting for confounders.Results: The analysis included 3961 HCV-cured PWH (G1) and 33 872 HCV-uninfected PWH (G2). Median follow-up was 3.7 years in G1 [interquartile range (IQR): 2.0-4.6], and 3.3 years (IQR: 1.7-4.4) in G2. Median age was 52.0 years (IQR: 47.0-56.0), and 29 116 (77.0%) were men. There were 150 deaths in G1 [adjusted incidence rate (aIR): 12.2/ 1000 person-years] and 509 (aIR: 6.3/1000 person-years) in G2, with an incidence rate ratio (IRR): 1.9 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.4-2.7]. The risk remained elevated 12 months post HCV cure (IRR: 2.4 [95% CI, 1.6-3.5]). Non-AIDS/non-liver-related malignancy was the most common cause of death in G1 (28 deaths).Conclusions: Despite HCV cure and HIV viral suppression, after controlling on factors related to mortality, DAA-cured PWH without cirrhosis remain at higher risk of allcause mortality than people with HIV monoinfection. A better understanding of the determinants of mortality is needed in this population.
