Studies evaluatingOns to the statistical methods used in this study.Studies evaluating the efficacy of directly administered antiretroviral therapy (DAART) for the treatment of HIV-infected individuals have yielded mixed results. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials by Ford and colleagues found no evidence overall for DAART benefit [1]. However, both the Ford anal
Ow-up will be needed to determine whether HCV cure through the use of direct-acting antivirals among HIV/ HCV coinfected elite controllers will make the risk for complications among these patients similar to their HIV monoinfected counterparts. Further studies will also be needed to determine the effects of antiretroviral therapy in this group of patients coupled to its risk/benefit ratio. Whereas

A and adjusting for differences based on sex, we no longer see this correlation. In addition, in this study, HCV coinfection is not associated with loss of elite controller status. Taken together, this suggests that HCV coinfection does not directly affect HIV replication dynamics or natural history, but that it may act synergistically with HIV to produce a greater number of associated complicatio

Espite successful HCV eradication. Other complications such as development of carcinoma may be more readily amenable to more rapid risk reduction with antiviral therapy. Further studies with long periods of follow-up will be needed to address these questions. Our study has several limitations. Not all patients had measures of immune activation documented in their study records and were therefore e
