Trends in acute hepatitis B among people living with <scp>HIV</scp> over 25 years: Incidence and clinical outcomes
AHB incidence among PWH has declined over the past 25 years but remains higher than in the general population. The recent reappearance of isolated cases may reflect changes in HBV exposure risk, suboptimal vaccination coverage, or the increasing use of ART regimens without anti-HBV activity. Universal HBV vaccination and the use of tenofovir-based therapies in non-responders remain critical strategies for prevention and control.
