Effect of coinfection with GB virus C on survival among patients with HIV infection

Article Abstract:

HIV patients who are also infected with the hepatitis G virus have a better prognosis than other HIV patients, according to a study of 362 HIV patients. This may occur because the hepatitis G virus, which is also called the GB virus C, inhibits HIV replication.
