HBV testing is well established among Viennese HIV+patients with HBV coinfection rates around 4%-5%. HBV vaccinations are insufficiently implemented since anti-HBs titres were detected in only 21.1% of HBV-naive HIV(+) patients and new HBV infections occurred in previously vaccinated patients. HDV testing is not systematically performed despite up to 25% of HIV/HBV patients may show HDV coinfection.
