TLDR
In this seven-year retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of HBV vaccination practices in HIV-1-positive adults treated in an urban ambulatory care center, HIV viral load was better than CD4 count as a predictor of response to theHBV vaccination.About:

Viral hepatitis: global goals for vaccination.
TL;DR: In countries where hepatitis A is highly endemic, exposure to hepatitis A virus (HAV) is almost universal before the age of 10 years, and large-scale immunization efforts are not required, control of hepatitis A may be achieved through widespread vaccination programmes.

Hepatitis B virus coinfection in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients: A review
TL;DR: To reduce the disease burden of HBV infection among HIV-infected patients, adoption of safe sex practices, avoidance of sharing needles and diluent, HBV vaccination and use of cART containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate plus emtricitabine or lamivudine are the most effective approaches.
