## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have similar transmission routes, implying that patients infected with HIV are at particular risk for HBV infection. Patients who are coβinfected with HIV and HBV progress more rapidly to endβstage liver disease and differen

## Abstract HIV infection has a significant impact on the natural progression of liver disease caused by infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), but its role in the molecular evolution of HBV is unknown. It is difficult to study the molecular evolution of HBV longitudinally considering its genomic
## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is known to show significant genetic diversity. There are eight HBV genotypes (AβH) characterized by distinct geographical distribution. Mutations in the HBV genome, in particular precore (PC) and basal core promoter (BCP) mutations, may be important factors in t
