Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) poses significant health challenges in regions like sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia, with different genotypes affecting treatment response and disease progression.
- In a study of 81 HIV/HBV co-infected individuals in Botswana, 86% of samples were successfully genotyped, predominantly showing genotypes A and D, along with some escape mutations.
- These escape mutations could hinder diagnosis and treatment effectiveness but did not show a significant link to liver enzyme levels.
