Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and impact of Human pegivirus-1 (HPgV-1) in Indian individuals living with HIV, as there is limited research on this topic.
- Among 347 HIV treatment-naïve participants, 11% tested positive for HPgV-1, while only 1% of 100 healthy controls did; HPgV-1 genotype-2a was primarily found in those with HIV.
- The research indicates a correlation between HPgV-1 viral load and CD4+ T-cell counts, hinting at HPgV-1's potential influence on HIV disease progression, though further longitudinal studies are necessary for a clearer understanding.
