    Abstract:
    We analysed the prevalence of hepatitis G virus (HGV) infection in HCV+/HIV+ hemophilic patients determining HGV viremia in plasma by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The overall prevalence of HGV infection was 13.51%. Viremia by HGV was more frequent in younger patients. Two subgroups of patients were considered taking into account prognosis of HIV disease progression. The prevalence of HGV infection was significantly higher in those with better prognosis and low risk of evolution to AIDS. The results suggest that HGV infection may slow disease progression, directly or indirectly.
