Persistence of Protective Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Titers after Successful Double-Dose Hepatitis B Virus Rescue Vaccination in HIV-Infected Patients
TL;DR: Protection against hepatitis B surface antibody titers may decrease over time after successful double-dose HBV rescue vaccination in HIV-infected patients and HIV viral load suppression could improve the persistence of anti-HB titers.

TL;DR: HIV-1 coinfection can have serious implications on the outcome of HBV-related liver disease, and HBV infection had no consequence on the progression of HIV-1 disease but distinctly lowered CD4+ T-cells.

Séroprévalence de la co-infection hépatite B, hépatite C et VIH chez des femmes accouchées à la maternité de l’hôpital Adolphe Sicé de Pointe-Noire en 2010
TL;DR: The results highlight the need for mother-child transmission prevention programs for hepatitis B and C, similar to the existing ones for HIV, among parous women in Pointe-Noire.

Response to a reinforced hepatitis B vaccination scheme in HIV-infected patients under real-life conditions
Karin Neukam,Alicia Gutierrez-Valencia,Silvia Llaves-Flores,Nuria Espinosa,Pompeyo Viciana,Luis F. López-Cortés +5 more
TL;DR: Accelerated administration of three double-doses results in considerable high, however still suboptimal, response rates to HBV-V in HIV-infected patients in the clinical practice.

Curtis Cooper,Matt Driedger,David Wong,Sarah Haylock-Jacobs,Abdel Aziz M. Shaheen,Carla Osiowy,Scott Fung,Karen Doucette,Alexander Wong,Lisa Barrett,Brian Conway,Alnoor Ramji,Gerald Y. Minuk,Giada Sebastiani,Philip Wong,Carla S. Coffin +15 more
TL;DR: Canadian co‐infected patients differed considerably from those with mono‐infection, and patients who report high‐risk behaviours and those born in endemic countries represent two distinct subpopulations, which should be considered when engaging these patients in care.

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.
