The goals of this guideline are to: Raise awareness among clinicians about the prevalence and associated risks of chronic HBV in patients with HIV. Increase screening for and vaccination against HBV in adults with HIV. Provide up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations on diagnosis, assessment, treatment, and monitoring of chronic HBV infection in patients with HIV, with emphasis on the essential components of antiretroviral therapy to treat coinfection.
