    Abstract The life expectancy of HIV seropositive persons is approaching the life expectancy of those who are uninfected with HIV. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has emerged as a worldwide epidemic. Given the similar transmission route between HCV and HIV, there has been an explosion in the number of individuals infected with both viruses. Because of the successful introduction of antiretroviral therapy, patients are more susceptible to new opportunistic infections such as HCV. HCV leads to a more rapid progression to end-stage liver disease in patients with HIV, and the morbidity and mortality related to HCV in co-infected patients is on the rise. Therefore, it has become imperative to treat both HIV and HCV in co-infected patients. The primary goal of HCV therapy is permanent eradication of the virus. Secondary goals include reduction in hepatic fibrosis progression, development of decompensated cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Early studies using standard interferon-alfa for the treatment of HCV in co-infected individuals were discouraging, as poor outcomes, high discontinuation rates, and severe adverse events were observed. The current standard of care for treatment of HCV is pegylated-interferon and ribavirin. New studies have recently demonstrated a higher sustained virologic response rate and a better adverse event profile than previously reported in co-infected patients. As a result, we recommend considering all co-infected patients for HCV therapy while watching closely for unique treatment-related toxicities. The treatment of HCV in co-infected patients should be a high priority for all providers.

    Abstract Background: In patients with chronic hepatitis B, long-term use of lamivudine is limited by resistance mutations. Adefovir dipivoxil has a very low rate of resistance, but there have been recent reports describing resistance mutations. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine show potent activity against wild-type and lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus.
    Methods: We describe a series of seven HIV-seronegative patients who failed to achieve undetectable hepatitis B viral DNA on adefovir. No lamivudine resistance testing was performed. The antiviral regimen was changed to tenofovir (300 mg daily) and emtricitabine (200 mg daily). Variables collected included levels of hepatitis B viral DNA by polymerase chain reaction, alanine and aspartate aminotransferase, hepatitis B e antigen and hepatitis B e antibody.
    Results: The median hepatitis B viral DNA level while on adefovir was 430,000 copies/ml with a median fall in hepatitis B viral DNA levels of 2.0 log10 copies/ml. Patients were on adefovir for a median period of 10 months before a change in regimen to tenofovir and emtricitabine. This regimen change resulted in a median fall in hepatitis B viral DNA levels of 3.0 log10 copies/ml (range, 2-4) after a median treatment duration of 23 months (range, 14-28). All patients (100%) had achieved undetectable hepatitis B viral DNA levels following combination therapy. Anti-hepatitis B e seroconversion occurred in one patient. No change in serum creatinine was observed during therapy, and no significant adverse events were reported.
    Conclusions: In patients failing to respond to adefovir monotherapy or an adefovir-containing regimen for chronic hepatitis B virus, a combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine resulted in undetectable hepatitis B viral DNA levels without any renal toxicity. Tenofovir, in combination with emtricitabine, may be an alternative treatment for those with detectable hepatitis B viral DNA on adefovir.
