In total, 1357 (83.4%) participants reported having access to regular physician care regarding HCV at least once during the study period; more specifically, 1336 (82.1%) reported seeing a doctor regularly about their HCV and 637 (39.2%) reported seeing a specialist about their HCV at least once during the study period (not mutually exclusive).
Studies -- including one by Elinore McCance-Katz, MD, reported in the August 15, 2003 issue of CID-- indicate that lopinavir can also decrease methadone levels, even though ritonavir alone might be expected to have the opposite effect. 2018 Oct;85:88-93. doi: 10.1016/j.addbeh.2018.05.031.
2019 Oct;20(9):606-614. doi: 10.1111/hiv.12777. Participants were compensated for each study visit ($30 CDN). Marginal structural modelling is often used for causal inference in observational studies to allow for improved adjustment of confounding in situations where time-dependent confounders are also affected by previous exposure.

The impact of methadone or buprenorphine treatment and ongoing injection on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) adherence: evidence from the MANIF2000 cohort study. Methadone is a medication used as a substitute for heroin or other morphine-like drugs. Methadone, an orally administered long-acting opiate, is an effective and widely accepted pharmacotherapy used in the treatment of heroin dependence.1 Currently 125,000 people are estimated to be receiving methadone therapy in the United States, approximately 30,000 (25%) of whom are estimated to be infected with HIV. The majority of participants in the study had a history of opioid use or had a history of being on opioid agonist treatment (95.2%). Jamous C, Riek M, Patel A, et al. Epub 2018 May 31.Mohd Salleh NA, Fairbairn N, Nolan S, Barrios R, Shoveller J, Richardson L, Milloy MJ.HIV Med. With the sustained major declines in opportunistic complications, HIV infection is a more chronic disease, and so more drugs are being used in more patients for longer periods. This review focuses on the pathogenesis, clinical features, and management of the principal …
Therefore, it is unknown whether these individuals had active HCV infection during the study period. Addict Behav. These findings demonstrate that opioid agonist treatment may be helpful in linking PWID to HCV care, and highlight the need to better engage people who use drugs in substance use care, when appropriate.Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a significant burden among people who inject drugs (PWID) globally, with prevalence estimates of approximately 60–80% [Linkage to treatment and care are important considerations for addressing the HCV epidemic, particularly as countries move towards universal coverage of direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-based therapy to treat HCV infection [Methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) has been consistently shown to promote uptake of other medical treatment and care, particularly in the context of HIV infection. Second, the study included some data derived from self-report and thus, may be subject to reporting biases.
HIV cohort studies conducted in the era of HAART have suggested that long-term adherence to therapy is the key determinant of progression of HIV disease [].Although adherence is an important issue for all HIV-infected patients receiving HAART, adherence strategies that target particularly vulnerable subgroups, such as HIV-infected injection drug users (IDUs), may … Statistical model of the mediational process Note.
