Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Presently, it has been approved to treat hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with protease inhibitors (PIs). In the present study, we aimed to illustrate the natural prevalence of HCV NS3/4A PI resistance mutations in HIV/HCV coinfected, treatment-naïve patients.
