The Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a liver infection that affects 2.4 million people in the U.S. There is no vaccine to prevent HCV, so the best way to stay healthy is by avoiding behaviors that are responsible for its spread (through blood; often from infected needles).
Unfortunately for half the people who are infected with HCV each year, it becomes a chronic condition. Why? Because most people with HCV don’t feel sick (that’s why testing is so important). By the time symptoms do appear, it’s often a sign that the infection has led to advanced liver disease, which is not curable and will need to be managed for life. And while not all HCV causes complications especially when it’s caught and treated early chronic HCV can cause a host of add-on problems. We asked our experts to explain what they are, when they might happen, and what can be done about them.

ROCKLAND, Mass., Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ EMD Serono, the biopharmaceutical business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany in the US and Canada, presented retrospective HIV-associated wasting (HIVAW) prevalence and comorbidity data today from a claims database analysis at the Miami Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) Conference on HIV and Aging in the Era of ART and COVID-19.
Results showed that the overall prevalence of HIVAW in the study population (N=42,587) was 18.3% (n=7804/42,587), including greater than one in 6 people being treated for HIV having a medical and/or pharmacy claim for HIV-associated wasting (also known as cachexia). HIV-associated wasting is a condition where HIV+ people taking medication can lose weight and lean body mass without trying and feel a loss of physical endurance.
