Data are presented as Spearman's rank correlation co-efficient rho (ρ) with associated P values. HCV, hepatitis C virus; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; ART, anti-retroviral treatment; HIV+HCV+ART−, HIV and HCV co-infected ART-naive; HCV+, HCV mono-infected; HIV+ART+, HIV mono-infected ART-experienced; HIV+ART−, HIV mono-infected ART-naive. Data analysis was performed using Spearman's rank correlation test. Significant P values are shown in bold.
