Abstract

Coinfection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) is
common in patients with HIV infection. HIV infection and immunosuppression
alter the natural history of chronic viral hepatitis, and some patients
experience accelerated progression to clinically significant liver disease.
Therapies used in the treatment of HBV or HCV monoinfection have been
applied to the treatment of HIV-coinfected patients. However, development of
viral resistance and lack of virologic response remain significant areas of
concern. Timely diagnosis and clinical staging of chronic hepatitis
infection are critical in the management of HIV-coinfected patients.
