Why treat HBV in HIV-infected persons • Co-infection is common-10% of HIV-infected • More rapid progression of liver disease • Increased risk of liver-related mortality • Increased risk of HAART-related hepatotoxicity • ?Immune reconstitution syndrome
Strategies to treat HBV and HIV • All of the following should be used with HAART • LMV naive • First line: TDF plus LMV/FTC (emtricitabine) • Other considerations • Entecavir +/- TDF • PEG-IFN • LMV experienced • First line: Add TDF to LMV • Other considerations • Entecavir 1.0 mg- resistance with LMV-R HBV • Add ADV
Natural history of HCV infection HCV infection 4% Hepatoma 20 yr Chronic infection 17% 70-85% 3.6% Death 15-25 yr 15-25% Cirrhosis Resolved 13% • Extrahepaticmanifectations • Arthritis • Glomerulonephritis • Mixed cryoglobulinemia Complications and Liver failure
Risk Factors Associated with Transmission of HCV • Transfusion or transplant from infected donor • Injecting drug use • Hemodialysis (yrs on treatment) • Accidental injuries with needles/sharps • Sexual/household exposure to anti-HCV-positive contact • Multiple sex partners • Birth to HCV-infected mother
Impact of HIV on HCV • HIV infection worsens HCV-related liver disease (in pre-HAART era) • ALT levels higher • Fibrosis more severe • Cirrhosis, liver failure, and HCC more common • Death rates higher • Vertical HCV transmission enhanced
Predictors of liver death in 812 HIV+ :age adjusted HR for liver death of risk factors for liver injury according to Cox’s proportional hazards modelInfectious Diseases Dept. – Brescia, Italy *LTH life threatening hepatotoxicity; time dependent covariate °Daily alcohol consumption > 80 g (men) or 60 g (women) for > 5 years
Impact of HCV on HIV • Impaired Th1 function in HIV infection affects appropriate immune response to HCV • Conflicting clinical results • More rapid progression to AIDS or death for HCV genotype 1 • Increasing HIV RNA and decreasing CD4 more likely in co-infected pts
HCV Treatment Rationale • HCV is curable disease. • Treatment can improve HCV outcomes • Decrease fibrosis • Increase T-cell responsiveness to HCV antigens • Decrease rate of fatal hepatocellular carcinomas • Treatment may improve HIV outcomes • Reduce hepatic toxicity of ARVs
HCV Treatment Options • Pegylated Interferon-ribavirin combination therapy • Trials ongoing • Preliminary findings encouraging • Short duration for genotype 2/3 • New protease inhibitors: Boceprevir, Telaprevir (combined with pegIFN+RBV for genotype 1) • No data

Access to Therapy Only a minority of HCV-HIV and HBV-HIV coinfected are treated for their hepatitis. To increase the applicability and availability of treatment especially invulnerable groups such as in immigrants, IDUs, prisoners, people with psychiatric illnesses and people with excessive use of alcohol
Lower rate of screening for hepatitis virus infection • 58% were screened for HBV and 43% screened for HCV infection in tertiary care institutes • 9.7% had HBV infection and 8.8% had HCV infection • LEE prior to the initiation of ART and undetectable HIV RNA at screening significantly associated with the finding of HBV co-infection. • The limited resources for HIV, HBV and HCV treatment & care in a resource-limited setting and unawareness of long term complications may affect rate of screening for HBV and HCV infections.

Diagnosis • HBsAg- Used as a general marker of infection. • HBsAb- Used to document recovery and/or immunity to HBV infection. • anti-HBcIgM - Marker of acute infection. • anti-HBcIgG- Past or chronic infection. • HBeAg - Active replication of virus and therefore infectiveness. • Anti-HBe- No longer viral replication. However, the patient can still be positive for HBsAg which is made by integrated HBV. • HBV-DNA - Indicating active replication of virus, more accurate than HBeAg especially in cases of escape mutants. Used mainly for monitoring response to therapy.

Isolated antibody to HB core antigen • Frequently detected in HIV/HBV co-infection (20%-30%) • IVDU (OR 30.8, p < 0.001) and anti-HCV seropositive (OR 6.7, p = 0.002) were independent risk factors • Low anamnestic response to hepatitis B vaccination (7%) Jongjirawisan Y, et al. J Med Assoc Thai 2006
Challenges in HBsAg Serological Diagnosis • Analytic sensitivity: WHO standard 0.028–0.156IU/ml • Abbott ad standard 0.18–0.73 ng/ml • Abbot ay standard 0.13–0.26 ng/ml • Clinical sensitivity: 89.3–99.8% • Specificity: 97.6–100% • Surface mutants • Detection of HBV serotypes
HBV history and markers in Thailand • Significant higher ALT in genotype C than B • HBeAg significantly more frequent in genotype C than B patients (50.8 VS 30.8%,p=0.03) • Levels of HBV DNA were comparable in both genotypes • Genotype C showed higher ALT levels and more necroinflammation activity and fibrosis of liver • Progression to cirrhosis and HCC trended to be younger in genotype C • Lower response rate to IFNα therapy in genotype C • The risk of development of HCC may not be different between genotypes B and C-related chronic liver disease.

Antiviral Treatment Effect Antiviral treatment effect is defined as a sustained ≥1 log10 IU/ml reduction of HBV DNA from baseline levels during therapy and within 3 months of starting therapy. A decrease of ≥1 log10 IU/ml can be used to assess the early virological response. Development of resistance while on treatment is characterized by a rise of ≥1 log10 IU/ml.
