While acute changes in hepatic fibrosis are recognized shortly after achieving sustained virological response (SVR) using direct-acting antiviral therapies, long-term outcomes for the growing population of successfully treated patients with HCV remain uncertain. The aim of this study is to characterize long-term changes in fibrosis following SVR in patients with and without HIV and to identify potential factors associated with progression or regression of fibrosis.
