Abstract
This overview gives an update on the management of
HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in resource-limited
settings (RLSs), giving the epidemiological aspects based
on research findings, especially those published over the
last 2 years on transmission and treatment. This review
describes studies that have reported HCV and HIV and
those studies that were conducted predominantly in an
HIV-infected population. This article also reviews the
natural history of HIV andHCV infections with a focus on
the RLSs and discusses prevention strategies. Described
in this review are studies that took place in low and
middle income countries such as sub-Saharan Africa,
Latin America, the Caribbean, east, south and south-east
Asia, some countries in Europe and central Asia as well as
north Africa and the Middle East.
