Shaibu Issa: Did you Know hepatitis B and HIV can be treated with the same medicines?

Shaibu Issa, Member HBV Global Community Advisory Board at Hepatitis B Foundation, shared on LinkedIn:

“In this World AIDS day Did you Know?

HEPATITIS B AND HIV CAN BE TREATED WITH THE SAME MEDICINES?

Hepatitis B is treated with antiviral medicines. The medicines work to help limit damage to the liver. Some HIV medicines are effective at treating both HIV and hepatitis B.

The choice of medicines to treat confections depends on the person. For example, some people may take HIV medicines that are also effective at treating hepatitis B.

Other people may take HIV medicines and a hepatitis B antiviral medicine. If you are living with hepatitis and HIV coinfection, talk to your healthcare provider about the best medicines for you.”
