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 coinfection is around 5-7% among HIV-infected individuals.[1] In countries with intermediate and high HBV endemicity, the main routes of transmission of HBV are perinatal or in early childhood; in these countries HBV coinfection rates are 10-20%.[2][3][4]
