Spontaneous Clearance of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among Human Immunodeficiency Virus–Infected Men Who Have Sex With Men

Abstract

We assessed spontaneous clearance in 27 human immunodeficiency virus–infected men who have sex with men (MSM) who seroconverted for hepatitis C virus (HCV). In contrast with a recent estimate of 45.8%, we found a spontaneous clearance rate of 11.1% (95% confidence interval = 2.4–29.2). This finding suggests that treatment deferral to await spontaneous clearance might not be justified for MSM with sexually acquired HCV.
