| Core Tip |
Despite the availability of preventive and control measures, co-infection of human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV)-positive individuals with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a global health problem of significant and increasing magnitude. While the potential of worse HIV outcomes are suggested to be associated with viral hepatitis, it is still yet to identify the populations in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region with dual infections (HIV-HBV or HIV-HCV) or triple co-infections with HIV, HBV and HCV. This review highlights the available data on HIV, HBV and HCV and their co-infections in the MENA countries with specific focus on high-risk groups (men who have sex with men, female sex workers, injecting drug users and prisoners).
