The second human pegivirus HPgV-2 is a novel blood-borne virus that is strongly associated with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, the molecular evidence for their association as well as the natural history and tissue tropism of HPgV-2 remain to be elucidated. In this longitudinal study, a total of 753 patients including 512 HIV-1 and HCV co-infected patients were enrolled to characterize the natural history of HPgV-2 infection. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and...
