This study assessed HIV-hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection in southern Africa in terms of prevalence, viral characteristics, occult HBV, and the effect of lamivudine- versus tenofovir-containing first-line combination antiretroviral treatment (cART) on HBV-related outcomes. A multicenter prospective cohort of HIV-infected

For hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive patients, continuing therapy (consolidation) for 6-12 months before cessation of nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) was recommended. This study aimed to investigate whether a longer period of lamivudine consolidation therapy leads to better outcomes and the
Hepatitis B virus DNA integration occurs early in the viral life cycle in an in vitro infection model via NTCP-dependent uptake of enveloped virus particles

Dolutegravir (S/GSK1349572), a once-daily, unboosted integrase inhibitor, was recently approved in the United States for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in combination with other antiretroviral agents. Dolutegravir, in combination with abacavir-lamivudine, may provide a simplified
Liver transplantation : official publication of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the International Liver Transplantation Society, 19(3), 268-274 (2013-03-01)
Without effective prophylaxis, liver transplantation for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver disease is frequently complicated by severe and rapidly progressive HBV recurrence. Combination prophylaxis with hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and lamivudine (LAM) reduces long-term recurrence rates below 10%; however
