Abnormal liver stiffness assessed using transient elastography (Fibroscan®) in HIV-infected patients without HBV/HCV coinfection receiving combined antiretroviral treatment.

Abnormal liver stiffness assessed using transient elastography (Fibroscan®) in HIV-infected patients without HBV/HCV coinfection receiving combined antiretroviral treatment.
