HIV-1, hepatitis B virus, and risk of liver-related mortality in the Multicenter Cohort Study (MACS)

TLDR
Individuals coinfected with HIV-1 and HBV, especially those with low CD4+ nadir counts, are at increased risk for liver-related mortality, underscoring the importance of prevention, identification, and comprehensive management of hepatitis B in people infected withAIDS.

Epidemiology estimates of hepatitis D in individuals co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis B virus, 2002–2018: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the epidemiology of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection in HIV/HBV co-infected individuals was characterized by using the DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model and the estimated pooled HDV seroprevalence among the general population was 1.07% (95% CI 0.65-1.59).

Prevalence and Characteristics of Hepatitis B Surface Antigenaemia among HIV Infected Patients in Jos, Nigeria

TL;DR: This study analyzed HBsAg prevalence, its demographic distribution and relationship to the immunological and viral load status of HIV positive cohort in Jos between August 2004 and April 2005 to find out whether this may negatively impact their morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis B genotype G/A2 recombinant co-infection: a case study.

TL;DR: Recombination with other genotypes could alter the clinical manifestations of chronic hepatitis B in people living with HIV, and this recombinant strain was not identical to HBV/G/A2 strains previously reported from Japan.

Prevalence of HIV and Its Co-Infection with Hepatitis B/C Virus Among Chronic Liver Disease Patients in Ethiopia

TL;DR: The frequency of HIV and its co-infections with HBV/HCV exhibited an increasing pattern with the severity of the liver disease and screening all HIV-positive patients for HBV and HCV infection and taking necessary preventive measures would be an essential strategy to prevent the progression of CLD and death related to liver disease in people living with HIV.

Liver fibrosis progression in human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus coinfected patients

TL;DR: In coinfected patients, a low CD4 count, alcohol consumption rate, and age at HCV infection are associated with a higher liver fibrosis progression rate, while HIV seropositivity accelerates HCV‐related liver Fibrosis progression.

Hepatotoxicity associated with antiretroviral therapy in adults infected with human immunodeficiency virus and the role of hepatitis C or B virus infection.

TL;DR: The data indicate that use of ritonavir may increase risk of severe hepatotoxicity, and does not support withholding protease inhibitor therapy from persons coinfected with hepatitis B or C virus.
