Background
Estonia has a typical Eastern European HIV epidemic where the most frequent co-infection is chronic hepatitis C (HCV). We aimed to describe the changes in HCV prevalence, the distribution of HCV genotypes (GT), and HCV treatment in Estonian people living with HIV over 15 years.

... There were more men 64% (2816/4422). The dominating HIV transmission route was IVDU in 48% (2106/4422) followed by heterosexual 38% (1669/4422), 1% (33/4422) in MSM and in 14% (614/4422) the transmission route was undetermined. HIV transmission route changed over the years from being predominantly PWID to predominantly heterosexual transmission (Fig. 1). The median HIV VL at HIV diagnosis was 4.68 log10 copies/ml (IQR = 3.90-5.24) and the median CD4+ T cell count at HIV diagnosis 335 cells/mcl (IQR = ...
