The date about the condition of HBV co infection with the disease progress of HIV is limited. To investigate whether the incidence of HBV co-infection is significantly higher in HIV patients with disease progression in China, we compared rates of HBV co-infection in HIV patients based on an acute and a chronic HIV infected cohort. Significance was assessed with Chi-square. HBV infection is diagnosed by the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen. The HBsAg positive rate increased from 6.18% in acute HIV infection to 11.44% in chronic HIV infection. Thirty-four acute HIV patients had been tested for HBV in their chronic phase, four of them had HBV -specific antigens and/or specific antibodies changes. The number of Hepatitis B virus-specific antibodies decreased from acute phase to chronic phase in four patients and two patients’ HBsAg changed from negative to positive. There is an increased prevalence of HBV infection in HIV patients with the disease progression in China.
