Plain language summary: Hepatitis B and C infection and liver disease in people with HIV infection in NigeriaPeople living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection who have hepatitis B or C infection have a higher chance of developing advanced liver disease than those who do not have either of the hepatitis infections.
