Reports suggest that approximately 37.7 million people are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) worldwide,[1] and 10% to 28% of people living with HIV (PLWH) are coinfected with hepatitis B virus (HBV).[2] The routes of transmission shared by both HIV and HBV may explain the relatively high proportions of HIV/HBV coinfection,[3] which represent a significant challenge to global public health. In China, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) prevalence is estimated at 13.7% in PLWH.[4]Compared to HBV mono-infected individuals, those coinfected with HIV may experience a faster progression of liver disease and an increased risk of developing advanced liver diseases such as cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).[5] Despite the widespread utilization of potent antiretroviral regimens with antiviral activities against both HBV and HIV, liver-related mortality remains the second most common cause of death among coinfected individuals.[6] In addition, despite the early introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV/HBV coinfected individuals with high HBV replication profiles continue to have a higher mortality risk.[7] HBsAg clearance/loss with or without development of hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) is regarded as a “functional cure” for HBV mono-infection.[8] Functional cure decreases the risk of liver disease progression and development of HCC.[8, 9] In short, this is the ultimate treatment target for HIV/HBV coinfected individuals.
