Natural History

The rate of progression and complications from viral hepatitis are accelerated in patients with HIV coinfection.[1][2] After acquiring HBV infection, HIV infected individuals are 6 times more likely to develop chronic hepatitis B than HIV negative individuals.[3][4][5] This was more likely to occur in HIV infected men with lower CD4 cells. Decreased rates of clearance of HBeAg and increased HBV replication are also seen, with higher HBV DNA viral load.[6][7][8] In addition, HIV infected individuals are more likely to lose previously developed protective anti-HBs antibody and develop acute hepatitis B infection; This risk is also associated with lower CD4 counts.[9][10]

HIV also hastens the progression of HBV related liver disease. Cirrhosis is more common despite lower ALT levels than in HBV mono-infection and is also more common with lower CD4 counts.[6][11]

Complications

Following initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART), immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) may occur which can lead to worsening liver disease including hepatic decompensation. In addition, after discontinuation of an ART regimen containing anti-HBV agents, reactivation of hepatitis B can occur. ALT elevations occurred in 29% of 147 patients within 6 months of withdrawal.[12] If reactivation occurs, resuming an agent that is active against HBV is required.

HIV-HBV coinfected men are greater than 17 times more likely to die of liver related causes compared to those mono-infected with HBV.[13] For individuals on ART, coinfection with chronic hepatitis B increases the risk of hepatotoxicity from ART three-fold to five-fold.[14][15][16]

It is unclear at present if the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is increased, but there is some evidence that HIV infected individuals with lower CD4 counts are at greater risk of developing HCC.[17]
