This presentation describes the updates to the recently published 2025 treatment guidelines for Hepatitis B (HBV). It will define goals of therapy when treating individuals with chronic HBV and outline management strategies for the various phases of infection, including the indeterminant phase. Updated recommendations concerning treating HBV in pregnancy, those in high-risk scenarios, and the immune tolerant phase will be reviewed. The latest guidance on treatment discontinuation and surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma will be discussed. This presentation provides background to and will enhance understanding of the updated guidelines, emphasizing the application of disease monitoring and shared decision making in treating patients with chronic HBV infection.
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

      • Comprehend the goals of treatment for chronic HBV, based on the new guidelines
      • Identify the appropriate treatment for various groups of patients infected with HBV
      • Determine when to consider stopping therapy and undertake surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with chronic HBV.
