Core Tip	This review synthesizes emerging evidence on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated alcohol-related liver disease in people living with human immunodeficiency virus. The authors highlight the implications of recent nomenclature changes and critically evaluate non-invasive fibrosis tools. The review advances a multi-hit conceptual model integrating antiretroviral therapy effects, immune activation, metabolic dysfunction, and alcohol effects to guide future research and clinical care.
