Materials & methods: In this cross-sectional study, serological markers of HBV and HCV infection (hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg], hepatitis B e-antigen [HBeAg], hepatitis B e-antibody [HBeAb] and hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb]) and anti-HCV antibodies [anti-HCV Abs] were tested in 198 Iranian HIV-infected patients. HIV/HBV-coinfected people have a higher rate of progression to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, HCC, less clearance of HBsAg and occult HBV infections (OBI) are more frequent in these patients [13] . The aim for this study is to investigate the prevalence of HCV and/or HBV coinfection in Iranian HIV-infected individuals. According to a previous study, prevalence of cirrhosis in HIV/HBV/HCV triple-infected patients was higher than HIV/HBV-or HIV/HCV-coinfected individuals [57] .	./cache/cord-026112-58sa5z03.txt	./txt/cord-026112-58sa5z03.txt
