Experimental: SOF+RBV 12 Weeks (GT 2/3, TN)
Treatment-naive (TN) participants coinfected with HIV-1 and genotype (GT) 2 or genotype 3 HCV infection will receive SOF+RBV for 12 weeks.

Drug: SOF
Sofosbuvir (SOF) 400 mg tablet administered orally once daily
Other Names:
Drug: RBV Ribavirin (RBV) tablets administered orally in a divided daily dose according to package insert weight-based dosing recommendations (< 75kg = 1000 mg and ≥ 75 kg = 1200 mg) |
Experimental: SOF+RBV 24 Weeks (GT 2/3, TE)
Treatment-experienced (TE) participants coinfected with HIV-1 and genotype 2 or genotype 3 HCV infection will receive SOF+RBV for 24 weeks.

- Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) at 12 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR12) [ Time Frame: Posttreatment Week 12 ]SVR12 was defined as HCV RNA < the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ; ie, 25 IU/mL) at 12 weeks after stopping study treatment.
- Incidence of Adverse Events Leading to Permanent Discontinuation of Study Drug(s) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks ]The percentage of participants discontinuing any study drug due to an adverse event was summarized.
- Percentage of Participants With Sustained Virologic Response at 4 and 24 Weeks After Discontinuation of Therapy (SVR4 and SVR24) [ Time Frame: Posttreatment Weeks 4 and 24 ]SVR4 and SVR24 were defined as HCV RNA < LLOQ at 4 and 24 weeks following the last dose of study drug, respectively.
- Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 1 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Week 1 ]
- Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 2 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Week 2 ]
- Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Week 4 ]
- Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 6 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Week 6 ]
- Change From Baseline in HCV RNA at Week 8 [ Time Frame: Baseline; Week 8 ]
- Percentage of Participants Experiencing On-treatment Virologic Failure [ Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks ]
On-treatment virologic failure was defined as:
- Viral breakthrough: HCV RNA ≥ LLOQ after having previously had HCV RNA < LLOQ while on treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values (second confirmation value may have been posttreatment) or with a last available on-treatment measurement and no subsequent follow-up values, or
- Viral rebound: > 1 log10 IU/mL increase in HCV RNA from nadir while on treatment, confirmed with 2 consecutive values (second confirmation value may have been posttreatment) or with a last available on-treatment measurement and no subsequent follow-up values, or
- Nonresponse: HCV RNA persistently ≥ LLOQ through 8 weeks of treatment
- Percentage of Participants Experiencing Viral Relapse [ Time Frame: Up to Posttreatment Week 24 ]Viral relapse was defined as having achieved undetectable HCV RNA levels (HCV RNA < LLOQ) at end of treatment, but did not achieve an SVR.
