Brief Summary: To compare the sustained virological response SVR ribonucleic acid RNA - hepatitis C virus HCV undetectable at week 24 before end the treatment in chronic hepatitis C patients genotype 1-4 co-infected with HIV-HCV treated with Peginterferón alfa-2a 40 KD 180 µgweek and Ribavirin 2000 mgday during 4 weeks follow of 1000-1200 mgday according to body weight versus Peginterferón alfa-2a 40 KD 180 μgweek and Ribavirin 1000-1200 mgday according to body weight

To evaluate the impact to extend the treatment with Peginterferon alfa-2a and Ribavirin to week 72 in SVR of these patients with genotypes 1-4 without rapid virological response RVR RNA - HCV undetectable at 4 week
Detailed Description: The PRESCO study ribavirin dose 1000-1200 mgday emphasized that optimal ribavirin exposure seems to be crucial to maximize sustained virological response and minimize the incidence of relapses after treatment discontinuations

Recent reports showed that it is beneficial to extend the treatment duration in patients without rapid virological response at 4 weeks RNA-HCV 50 UIml
