Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with undetectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) has been reported in HIV patients, but the clinical significance is unknown. This study presents the prevalence of HBV DNA in HIV-positive patients negative for all HBV serological markers and a retrospective evaluation of the clinical course of mono- and co-infection.
