Following initiation of [[antiretroviral therapy]] (ART), [[immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome]] (IRIS) may occur which can lead to worsening liver disease including [[Cirrhosis#Decompensated cirrhosis|hepatic decompensation]]. In addition, after discontinuation  of an ART regimen containing anti-HBV agents, reactivation of hepatitis B can occur.

WHO advocates HBsAg testing especially in areas of high HBV prevalence; but additional testing for HBV markers such as HBeAg and HBV DNA and to  assess stage of liver disease (e.g. [[Liver function tests|liver enzymes]], liver [[biopsy]]) may not be widely available in many resource limited countries.
 
Liver biopsy remains the '''gold standard''' for  assessing disease severity in HIV-HBV coinfection. Non-invasive markers are also available but none have been widely studied in co-infected patients.
 
Hoffman and Thio provided management recommendations for use in areas with limited resources. They recommend that [[HBsAg]] and liver enzymes be tested before ART, with liver enzymes being repeated once or twice during the first 3 months after commencing ART. Detection of HBV DNA is helpful but may not be available. [[Hepatitis B natural history#Chronic infection|Chronic HBV]] carriers with [[Hepatitis B laboratory tests#Lab Tests|HBeAg]] positivity may benefit from starting [[Hepatitis B medical therapy|anti-HBV therapy]] early. <ref name="pmid17521593">{{cite journal|author=Hoffmann CJ, Thio CL |title=Clinical implications of HIV and hepatitis B co-infection in Asia and Africa |journal=Lancet Infect Dis |volume=7 |issue=6 |pages=402–9 |year=2007 |month=June |pmid=17521593 |doi=10.1016/S1473-3099(07)70135-4|url=http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1473-3099(07)70135-4 |accessdate=2012-03-29}}</ref>
 
==Screening==
 
For HIV infected individuals with chronic HBV, additional screening for coinfection with HCV is recommended; [[hepatocellular carcinoma]] screening with [[alpha fetoprotein]] and imaging of liver every 6 months is being suggested by some but the cost benefit of one or both tests  as well as the frequency of  monitoring in various health economies remain to be assessed. <ref name="pmid19399813">{{cite journal |author=Thio CL |title=Hepatitis B and human immunodeficiency virus coinfection|journal=Hepatology |volume=49 |issue=5 Suppl |pages=S138–45 |year=2009 |month=May|pmid=19399813 |doi=10.1002/hep.22883|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/hep.22883 |accessdate=2012-03-29}}</ref>

'''Goals of treatment'''


'''HIV:'''Treatment for HIV has resulted in a marked reduction in AIDS-related mortality. As a result, liver disease from HBV and HCV is now becoming a major cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV infected patients.<ref name="pmid10969344">{{cite journal |author=Puoti M, Spinetti A, Ghezzi A, Donato F, Zaltron S, Putzolu V, Quiros-Roldan E, Zanini B, Casari S, Carosi G |title=Mortality for liver disease in patients with HIV infection: a cohort study |journal=J.
