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.Citations

Hepatitis B and C
TL;DR: The interactions between HIV disease and viral hepatitis, and between the drugs required to treat these entities, pose unique challenges to the management of HBV and HCV in HIV-coinfected patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in the Treatment of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Hepatitis B Virus Co-infection
TL;DR: When treating patients co-infected with HIV and HBV for HBV infection alone, care should be taken to avoid the induction of HIV resistance, andHBV should be considered during drug selection for anti-retroviral treatment.
İnsan Bağişiklik Yetmezlik Virüsü Enfeksiyonu Olan Hastada Kronik Viral Hepatit Chronic Viral Hepatitis in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-infected Patients
TL;DR: Investigation for the presence of chronic hepatitis caused by hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus infections should be investigated as chronic viral hepatitis progresses more rapidly to end-stage liver disease in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients.
Book ChapterDOI
HIV-HBV Co-infection, Clinical Concerns
TL;DR: In this paper, the prevalence of co-infection with these viruses and the resultant special clinical concerns in this population were reviewed and the relative contribution of each has yet to be adequately determined, though further elucidation of these risks may present novel approaches for therapy.

TL;DR: The strongest factors independently associated with HCV infection were illegal drug use and high-risk sexual behavior, and poverty, having had 12 or fewer years of education, and having been divorced or separated were independently associated.

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.

The multicenter aids cohort study: rationale, organization, and selected characteristics of the participants
TL;DR: The Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study was designed to elucidate the natural history of the infection causing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), identify risk factors for occurrence and clinical expression of the virus, and establish a repository of biologic specimens for future study.

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.
