Background: The arrival of highly effective, well tolerated direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA) led to a dramatic decrease in HCV prevalence. HIV-HCV coinfected patients are deemed a priority population for HCV elimination, while a rise of recently acquired HCV infections in MSM has been described. We describe the variations in HIV-HCV epidemiology in the French Dat'AIDS cohort. Methods: Retrospective analysis of a prospective HIV-infected cohort from 2012 to 2018. Determination of HCV prevalence, incidence, proportion of viremic patients, treatment uptake and mortality rate in the full cohort and by HIV risk factors. Results: From 2012 to 2018, 50861 HIV-infected patients with a known HCV status were followed-up. During the period, HCV prevalence decreased from 15.4% to 13.5%. HCV prevalence among new HIV cases increased from 1.9% to 3.5% in MSM but remained stable in other groups. Recently acquired HCV incidence increased from 0.36/100PY to 1.25/100PY in MSM. The proportion of viremic patients decreased from 67.0% to 8.9%. MSM became the first group of viremic patients in 2018 (37.9%). Recently acquired hepatitis represented 59.2% of viremic MSM in 2018. DAA treatment uptake increased from 11.4% to 61.5%. More treatments were initiated in MSM in 2018 (41.2%) than in IVDU (35.6%). In MSM, treatment at acute phase represented 30.0% of treatments in 2018. Conclusions: A major shift in HCV epidemiology was observed in HIV-infected patients in France from 2012 to 2018, leading to a unique situation in which the major group of HCV transmission in 2018 was MSM.
