Core Tip The prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection is high. However, as HBV infection may be occult, its diagnosis requires the routine use of highly sensitive tests. Although viral load or replication in these patients is low, they still have an increased risk of viral reactivation, chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma development. The majority of our knowledge on occult hepatitis B infection is derived from studies performed in patients with mono-infection or with HIV co-infection. This review summarizes the latest contributions in the field, clearly revealing that more studies are needed to evaluate the full impact of HIV in patients with occult HBV disease.
