    Abstract

    BACKGROUND: According to guidelines all HIV/HBV co-infected patients should receive tenofovir-based combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). We aimed to investigate uptake and outcomes of tenofovir-based cART among HIV/HBV patients in the EuroSIDA study.

    METHODS: All HBsAg+ patients followed up after 1 March 2002 were included. Changes in the proportion taking tenofovir-based cART over time were described. Poisson regression was used to investigate the relationship between tenofovir use and clinical events.

    RESULTS: 953 HIV/HBV patients were included. Median age was 41 years and patients were predominantly male (85%), white (82%) and ART experienced (88%). 697 and 256 were from Western and Eastern Europe, respectively. Fifty-five started cART during follow-up, the proportion starting with CD4<350 cells/mm3 decreased from 85% to 52% in the periods 2002-2006 to 2007-2015. Tenofovir use, among those taking cART, increased from 4% in 2002 to 73% in 2015. Compared to West, tenofovir use was lower in East in 2005 (7% vs. 42%), and remained lower in 2015 (63% vs. 76%). Among 602 patients taking tenofovir-based cART during follow-up, 155 (26%) discontinued tenofovir. Twenty-seven of all discontinuations were due to adverse effects. Only 14 started entecavir and/or adefovir after tenofovir discontinuation, whereas ten started PEG-IFN. Tenofovir use was not significantly associated with lower risk of liver-related clinical events (N=51), adjusted IRR 0.64 (95% CI 0.35-1.18) for comparing patients on tenofovir with those off tenofovir.

    CONCLUSIONS: Although use of tenofovir-based cART among HIV/HBV patients has increased across Europe, a substantial proportion are still starting cART late and are receiving suboptimal HBV therapy.
