title: HBV plus HCV, HCV plus HIV, HBV plus HIV.
abstract: Coinfection of hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and HIV is common due to shared modes of transmission. These coinfections accelerate the course of chronic liver disease and facilitate progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The viral interactions between these viruses are complex, and their treatment may be challenging for clinicians.
