Brief Summary
Investigators in the Division of Infectious Diseases and the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of The George Washington University Medical Center are carrying out a research study to determine why patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection (HIV/HCV) have a more rapid and progressive course of HCV infection, leading to fatty infiltration of the liver and cirrhosis.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Laboratory analysis of Tat Protein
The validation that HIV Tat protein is a potent inducer of HCV in dual infected patients will likely lead to anti-tat therapy to manage HCV patients for whom treatment options are rather limited.
Single sample analysis

Detectable HIV RNA and HCV RNA
HIV and HCV co-infected with detectable HIV RNA and HCV RNA
Undetectable HIV and Detectable HCV
HIV and HCV infected, HIV RNA Undetectable(treated) and Detectable HCV RNA.

Eligibility Criteria
Four groups of subjects will be included in this study, with 5 participants in each group: 1. detectable HIV RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) and detectable HCV RNA 2. undetectable HIV RNA (treated) and detectable HCV RNA 3. undetectable HIV RNA (treated) and undetectable HCV RNA 4. undetectable HCV RNA (mono-infected) 5. detectable HCV RNA (mono-infected) 6. detectable HIV RNA (mono-infected)
You may qualify if:
- Meets one of the following criteria:
- detectable HIV RNA and detectable HCV RNA
- undetectable HIV RNA (treated) and detectable HCV RNA
- undetectable HIV RNA (treated) and undetectable HCV RNA
- undetectable HCV RNA (mono-infected)
- detectable HCV RNA (mono-infected)
- detectable HIV RNA (mono-infected)
- Participants will be men and women, ages 18 and older, and who are patients being seen in the clinics of the Medical Faculty Associates, and meet the above criteria.
You may not qualify if:
- None
