• Adherence

– life long for NRTI

• Toxicity with pegylated-IFN

– low (<20%) efficacy, genotype A best

• Cost

– very few countries in high prevalence regions have reimbursement policies

• Drug resistance

– Rare with tenofovir but common with lamivudine

– In China, > 3 x 106 lamivudine resistant cases

• HBsAg-positivity on treatment

Current treatment is inadequate
