......"26% of individuals with HIV/HCV had fibrosis ≥F3, with significant differences between regions likely attributable to duration of HCV infection.....The prevalence of fibrosis ≥F3 and the relationship between CD4 and fibrosis ≥F3 highlights the need to prioritise HIV and HCV screening, linkage to care and treatment across Europe."
