Co-Infections with HIV/AIDS
Persons with HIV, especially injection drug users, can also be infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It is estimated that between 50 to 90% of HIV-infected injection drug users are co-infected with HCV. HCV infection can be more serious in persons with HIV.
- Adults who are co-infected with TB and HIV have a 10% risk of developing active TB disease every year.
