27
Q

HAV epidemiology

A
  • Single stranded RNA virus
  • Self limiting
  • Treat with supportive care
28
Q

HBV epidemiology

A
  • Double stranded DNA virus
  • Reactivation is primary concern
  • Can insert into human DNA and lay dormant for years
29
Q

HCV epidemiology

A
  • Single stranded RNA virus
  • Chronic
  • Not curable
30
Q

Why should pts be tested for HIV before starting HBV therapy?

A
  • Many of the treatment options in HBV are the same as in HIV
  • However monotherapy is appropriate in HBV but NOT in HIV
  • If pt is also HIV positive us multiple drug therapy
31
