Stefan Mauss, MD, PhD, co-founder of the Center for HIV and Hepatogastroenterology in Düsseldorf, Germany, reviews current treatment strategies for hepatitis C virus in patients with HIV coinfection, including triple therapy for HCV genotype 4. Mauss also discusses problems arising in Europe associated with risky behaviors — particularly crystal methamphetamine use — and the subpopulations that are at greatest risk for reinfection.
