Recommended Action
      Management Given the risk of reduced viral susceptibility and resistance development associated with subtherapeutic antiviral drug levels, the use of boceprevir in combination with ritonavir-boosted or cobicistat-boosted regimens of atazanavir, darunavir, or lopinavir is not recommended. Moreover, the safety and efficacy of boceprevir has not been established in the HCV/HIV coinfected population.
