Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) predisposes for liver damage during coinfection with hepatitis E virus (HEV) and increases the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV). HIV-hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfections are common. In Mexico, hepatotropic viruses are major causative agents of liver disease. However, information on HIV coinfections is limited in the country.
