Relation between HIV-1 and hepatitis C viral load in patients with hemophilia
Article Abstract:
HIV patients who are also infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) may be unable to eliminate the hepatitis C virus, according to a study of 207 HIV-positive and 126 HIV-negative hemophiliacs. This study also showed that higher HCV RNA levels are linked to increased liver inflammation.

Are there clinical and laboratory predictors of 5-year mortality in HIV-infected children and adolescents with hemophilia?
Article Abstract:
Non-hemophilia-relate muscle atrophy (NHRMA) appears to be the most important factor in predicting mortality in hemophiliac children infected with HIV. Researchers measured this and other factors such as CD4+ T cell count, hemoglobin levels, MRI scans of the brain, allergy on skin testing, height for age and neurological impairment in 207 HIV-infected hemophiliac young men. Although all these factors had some impact on mortality, NHRMA was the strongest.

Effects of plasma HIV RNA, CD4+T lymphocytes, and the chemokine receptors CCR5 and CCR2b on HIV disease progression in hemophiliacs
Article Abstract:
The authors examined various factors relevant to HIV infection (HIV RNA, CD4+ lymphocytes, chemokine receptors) to determine the progression of the disease and relationship to each other. The subjects were 207 HIV-positive hemophiliacs.
