HBV infection progresses more rapidly in people coinfected with HIV than in people infected with HBV alone. |
| hepatitis C virus HCV infection | Infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV is usually transmitted through blood and rarely through other body fluids, such as semen. HCV infection progresses more rapidly in people coinfected with HIV than in people infected with HCV alone. |
