Patients with past HBV infection or resolved HBV infection (defined as having a negative hepatitis B surface antibody [HBsAg] test and a positive hepatitis B core antibody [HBcAb] test, accompanied by a negative HBV DNA test) are eligible. Patients positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is negative for HCV RNA. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection that is not well controlled.

If an HIV infection meets the above criteria, monitoring of viral RNA load and CD4-positive cells' count is recommended.
