TL;DR: The identified co-circulating HCV lineages belong to different subtypes and genotypes, implying that rather than viral change, the epidemic is due to permucosal transmission factors that should be the focus of public health interventions.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis to compare occurrence and recurrence of HCC in patients receiving either DAA or interferon (IFN) therapy found there is no evidence that HCC occurrence or recurrence is different between patients receiving DAA and IFN therapy.

TL;DR: An international phylogenetic study revealed a large international network of HCV transmission among HIV-positive MSM, supported by the large proportion of European MSM infected with an HCV strain co-circulating in multiple European countries, the low evolutionary distances among HCV isolates from different countries, and the trend toward increased country mixing with increasing cluster size.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize the most recent epidemiological, immunological and management issues that have emerged as a result of the epidemic of acute hepatitis C virus among HIV-infected MSM.

TL;DR: Four working groups prepared draft guidelines for consideration at the conference on case definition and diagnosis; transmission risk and epidemiology; pathogenesis and natural history; and acute HCV infection management in the HIV-infected population.
