Viral hepatitis in HIV infection

Article Abstract:

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C (HCV) virus infections are commonly found among patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection because of shared routes of viral transmission. However, new therapies for both HCV and HBV infections are increasing the opportunities to manage the infections and potentially prevent complications of liver disease in HIV-infected persons.
