Background: This study was the first to examine the association of baseline clinical factors with the rate of HBsAg clearance in a large retrospective cohort of Chinese patients with HIV/HBV coinfection treated with combination antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Methods: Our retrospective cohort included 431 patients with HIV/HBV coinfection treated with TDF-containing ART. The median follow-up was 6.26 years. Logistic regression was used to investigate the association of baseline variables with HBsAg clearance, and Cox regression was used to investigate the association of baseline variables with time to HBsAg clearance.
Results: The clearance rate of HBsAg in our study was 0.072 (95% CI 0.049~0.101). In the multivariate logistic regression, advanced age (OR=1.1, P=0.007), high CD4 cell count (OR=2.06, P=0.05), and HBeAg positivity (OR=8.00, P=0.009) were significantly associated with the rate of HBsAg clearance. The AUC of the model integrating the above three predictors was 0.811. Similar results were found in the multivariate Cox regression (HR = 1.09, P = 0.038 for age, HR = 1.05, P = 0.012 for CD4 count and HR = 7.00, P = 0.007 for HBeAg).
Conclusions: Long-term TDF-containing ART can lead to HBsAg clearance of 7.2% in Chinese patients with HIV/HBV coinfection. Advanced age, high CD4 cell count, and positive HBeAg at baseline could be regarded as potential predictors and biological markers for HBsAg clearance in patients with HIV/HBV coinfection.

The long-term effects of combined antiretroviral therapy (ART) on liver fibrosis patterns in adults living with HIV and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) are not well understood. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the trajectories of liver fibrosis and identify the associations of baseline variables with different patterns of liver fibrosis evolution. A total of 333 individuals with HIV/HBV co-infection and undergoing long-term ART were enrolled in this study.

Article Synopsis
- The World Health Organization advises hepatitis D virus (HDV) screening for those infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV), especially in resource-limited areas like Nigeria, due to HDV's serious health risks, including rapid liver disease progression.
- A systematic review using PRISMA guidelines analyzed 11 studies from 2009-2024, focusing on HDV prevalence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes in Nigeria, specifically looking at studies that employed IgG antibody testing or RNA diagnostics.
- The findings revealed HDV prevalence among HBV patients in Nigeria varied widely from 2.0% to 31.6%, with the highest rates in the Southwest among malaria patients, and a notable increase in prevalence among young males aged

Article Synopsis
- Needle stick injuries (NSIs) pose serious health risks for healthcare workers, exposing them to blood-borne infections like HIV, HBV, and HCV; this study analyzed NSI cases over four years from a hospital in India.
- The study recorded 115 NSI cases from 2019 to 2022, with a higher incidence among younger healthcare workers, especially nurses in the initial years, while housekeeping staff were more affected in later years; most injuries occurred during morning shifts and in the inpatient department.
- Post-exposure prophylaxis was administered to a subset of affected workers, with a negative HIV serology status for all tested, although some cases showed positive for HBV and HCV.
