HIV and HPVThe benefits of a cup of coffeeDrinking coffee may do more than wake you up in the morning. Researchers have found good evidence that drinking coffee reduces the risk of liver cancer by half. They reviewed the results of 16 separate studies. Overall, people who drank coffee were about 50% less likely than non-coffee-drinkers to develop liver cancer. The findings of this study add to the evidence suggesting that drinking coffee has benefits for the health of the liver, and are therefore likely to be of particular interest to people living with HIV who have hepatitis B or hepatitis C co-infection. The benefits seem to be connected to chemicals in caffeine. For more information on HIV and hepatitis C co-infection you may find our HIV & hepatitis booklet useful. Visit www.aidsmap.com/booklets.
