HIV ‐1 exposure and immune activation enhance sexual transmission of Hepatitis C virus by primary Langerhans cells
Abstract
Introduction The significant rise in incidence of Hepatitis C virus ( HCV ) infection among men‐who‐have‐sex‐with‐men ( MSM ) living with HIV ‐1 suggests that HCV under specific circumstances is transmitted via sexual contact.
