Sofosbuvir plus Ribavirin is effective for HCV elimination in people living with HIV from rural area of China

Abstract People living with HIV (PLWH) bear higher prevalence of HCV coinfection. An accessible directly acting antivirals regimen with less drug–drug interaction with antiretroviral therapy (ART) is urgently needed in source limited regions. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of SOF + RBV f...
