The liver is a common site of pathology in HIV-infected patients. In patients with controlled HIV and minimal immunosuppression, infection with hepatitis viruses is common owing to the risk factors of sexual transmission or parenteral drug use. In patients with AIDS, the liver is a common site of lymphohematogenous dissemination of several infectious pathogens. A thorough diagnostic approach leads to a diagnosis of most hepatobiliary processes. The therapeutic nihilism that has surrounded hepatic disease, including viral hepatitis, is unwarranted, because treatment of the underlying HIV and the hepatic process may improve the quality of life and longevity of these patients.
