aSignificance was determined using the Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous variables and Pearson χ² test or Fisher exact test for categorical variables.

bParticipating patients were defined as those signing written informed consent and completing the third phase cross-sectional study visit. All characteristics reported in the table are from data collected at the inclusion visit of the French HIV-HBV cohort (2002-2003).

cART: antiretroviral therapy.

dAmong patients with detectable viral loads.

eHBV: hepatitis B virus.

fHBeAg: hepatitis B e virus antigen.

gHCV: hepatitis C virus.

hHDV: hepatitis D virus.
