Hepatitis B

Patients with HIV and hepatitis B co-infection should be managed by a clinician experienced in both of these conditions.

For information about management of patients with HIV and hepatitis B co-infection, see Hepatitis B and HIV co-infection in the Liver Disorders Guidelines.

All people with HIV infection should be tested for hepatitis B infection. If they are not immune, provide hepatitis B virus vaccination. See the Australian Immunisation Handbook [URL].
