HBeAg, hepatitis B e antigen. HBV, hepatitis B virus.

a

HBV DNA Suppression defined as ≤100 IU/mL.

b

Upper limit of normal for ALT assay is 17 U/L.

c

Mean adherence calculated from pill count across all visits. If pill count unavailable, used patient recall of pills taken.

d

Quantity n/s, quantity not sufficient for baseline genotype analysis.

e

If HBV DNA <100 IU/mL after 3 months, samples were below the limit for detection and sequencing was not performed.

f

This woman seroconverted for HBeAg at day 87 of ART.

g

This woman developed ALT elevations and had to discontinue ART at day 58; she resumed at day 334 and initially suppressed HBV DNA at day 392; she was noted to have poor adherence and HBV DNA relapse at day 456.

h

Had baseline mutation V173L.

i

This woman developed the M204I lamivudine resistance mutation at day 392 of ART; the lowest HBV DNA level achieved was 1100 IU/mL at day 1320 of ART.

j

This woman was noted to have poor adherence (88%); the lowest HBV DNA level achieved was 44,000 IU/mL at day 351 of ART.
