Summary

This study tested a combination of two drugs, peginterferon alfa2a and ribavirin, in 17 adults with both HIV and chronic hepatitis C who had not responded to a previous hepatitis C treatment. The goal was to see if this second-line treatment could clear the hepatitis C virus from the blood for at least 24 weeks after stopping therapy. The approach involved weekly injections and daily pills for 48 weeks, while monitoring safety and effects on HIV.
