Overview

Co infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) is common due to shared routes of transmission.

Epidemiology

In areas of low endemicity, such as North America, Australia and Europe, HBV and HIV infection are usually acquired in adulthood through sexual or percutaneous transmission. In areas of low endemicity, the prevalence of chronic co infection is around 5-7% among HIV-infected individuals.
