Marked Reduction in HIV/HCV Coinfections in Iceland Following the TraP HepC Nationwide Hepatitis C Elimination Program
Before the nationwide elimination campaign, the incidence of HIV/HCV coinfections was steadily increasing, but it has subsequently decreased by >85%, primarily due to the widespread use of DAAs. However, high reinfection rates in this population suggest that ongoing prevention, early diagnosis, and easy access to DAAs are necessary to maintain success.
