Overview
Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) is common due to shared routes of transmission. The impact of coinfection is especially important in regions with widespread use of ART.[1] As the use of ART becomes more prevalent in parts of the world with high HBV endemicity and long term survival increases, it is likely that liver disease from chronic hepatitis B in HIV-infected population may emerge as a greater public health problem than before.[1]
