    Background:

    • The World AIDS Conference highlights disparities in HIV care between developed and developing nations.
    • Clinicians face unique challenges when treating intravenous drug users (IDUs).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an overview of managing co-infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) in IDUs.
    • To discuss the complexities of antiretroviral therapy selection in IDUs using methadone and other recreational drugs.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and clinical overview of co-infection management.
    • Discussion of pharmacological interactions and treatment considerations.

    Main Results:

    • Co-infection with HIV and HCV is prevalent in IDUs, requiring integrated management strategies.
    • Antiretroviral selection is complicated by potential drug-drug interactions with methadone and illicit substances, impacting treatment efficacy and safety.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of HIV/HCV co-infection in IDUs necessitates tailored approaches.
    • Careful consideration of drug interactions is crucial for successful antiretroviral therapy in this patient population.
