Abstract
Objectives: HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) share the same routes of infection, making coinfection by these viruses a frequent finding in endemic areas. However, there is scarce information on the clinical/immunological consequences of triple infection. Coinfection by HTLV-1 is able to modulate cytokine’s production in patients with HIV, but there are no data on the immune response of HIV-HCV-HTLV-1–infected patients.
