## Abstract It has been proposed that occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, defined as detectable HBV‐DNA in serum with undetectable surface antigen (HBsAg^−^), is associated with raised transaminases in HIV‐infected persons. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of occult HBV i
## 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 co‐infected with HIV and HBV progress more rapidly to end‐stage liver disease and differen
