Human pegivirus type 2 (HPgV-2) is a novel blood-borne human pegivirus that mainly infects hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected subjects. We have investigated the prevalence of HPgV-2 in China, its association with HCV and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), and the impact on HCV viral load and liver damage.
