Recent treatment advances for individuals with HIV have improved morbidity and mortality rates. While AIDS deaths are down, Hepatitis C is a growing concern for the HIV community. Common routes of transmission put HIV-infected individuals at high risk for co-infrection. The disease burden of HVC/HIV infection can be significant, especially in urban areas.
