TL;DR: The first-generation Protease Inhibitors Boceprevir and Telaprevir administered in triple therapy regimens with Peg-interferon alpha and Ribavirin have been proven effective in increasing the rate of Sustained Virological Response in both naive and treatment-experienced patients with chronic genotype-1 hepatitis C.

TL;DR: Assessment of the prognostic role of proviral DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with undetectable viremia over long-term highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) shows that quantitation permits the continued monitoring of HAART in patients with invisibility.
