Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 6 (HCV-6) infection is prevalent predominantly in Southeast Asia, and the data on the virologic response of HCV-6 to direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) are sparse in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH).
Aim: To assess the virologic response of HCV-6 to DAAs in PLWH.
Methods: From September 2016 to July 2019, PLWH coinfected with HCV-6 initiating DAAs were included.

Background & Aims: Daclatasvir is a direct-acting antiviral agent and potent inhibitor of NS5A, which is involved in replication of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome, presumably via membranous web shaping, and assembly of new virions, likely via transfer of the HCV RNA genome to viral particle assembly sites. Daclatasvir inhibits the formation of new membranous web structures and, ultimately, of replication complex vesicles, but also inhibits an early assembly step. We investigated the relationship between daclatasvir-induced clustering of HCV proteins, intracellular localization of viral RNAs, and inhibition of viral particle assembly.

Background: Daclatasvir (DCV) is an NS5A replication complex inhibitor recently approved for chronic hepatitis C virus treatment.
Methods: To assess drug interactions between the HIV integrase strand transfer inhibitor dolutegravir (DTG) and DCV, subjects were randomized into 1 of 2 sequences in an open-label, 3-period, crossover study. Subjects received either DTG 50 mg once daily or DCV 60 mg once daily for 5 days in periods 1 and 2 and DTG 50 mg plus DCV 60 mg once daily for 5 days in period 3, with no washout between periods 2 and 3.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is transmitted between hepatocytes via classical cell entry but also uses direct cell-cell transfer to infect neighboring hepatocytes. Viral cell-cell transmission has been shown to play an important role in viral persistence allowing evasion from neutralizing antibodies. In contrast, the role of HCV cell-cell transmission for antiviral resistance is unknown.
