Prevalence and virological profiles of hepatitis B infection in human immunodeficiency virus patients.

TL;DR: HBV infection prevalence is high in HIV-positive patients, and HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis and occult HBV infection are more frequent in HIV -positive patients than in HIV negative ones.

Factors associated with seroconversion after standard dose hepatitis B vaccination and high-dose revaccination among HIV-infected patients.

TL;DR: HDR appears to be a viable strategy to achieve seroconversion among HIV-infected patients who fail to respond to SDV, and higher CD4 at vaccination, younger age, and receipt of Twinrix were independently associated with SDVSeroconversion.

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

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