Regression of liver fibrosis after curing chronic hepatitis C with oral antivirals in patients with and without HIV coinfection.

Background: Treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAA) eradicates hepatitis C virus (HCV) from most chronic carriers. Information on regression of liver fibrosis and the influence of HIV is scarce in cured patients.

Methods: All consecutive HCV-infected individuals treated with DAA at our institution were examined.
