The chief purpose of this research is to understand how antiretroviral therapy (ART) affects progression of liver disease in persons co-infected with HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV). The investigators study liver disease progression in a cohort of dually infected persons according to the success of ART.
Enrolled subjects will complete questionnaires concerning health status, lifestyle, and alcohol/drug use. Participants will undergo liver elastography every 6-12 months.
