The prevalence of antibodies against Hepatitis C Virus (anti-HCV antibodies) and its association with the presence of treponemal antibodies (FTA-ABS) was studied in 227 non-drug abusing female prostitutes. The overall anti-HCV antibody prevalence was 8.8%, and a significantly higher prevalence of anti-HCV antibodies was found in prostitutes testing positive for FTA-ABS (19.4%) than in prostitutes testing negative for FTA-ABS (3.9%) (PR = 5.023, P less than 0.001). No statistical association was found between patient age or the duration of prostitution and the presence of anti-HCV antibodies.
在227名不滥用药物的女性性工作者中,研究了丙型肝炎病毒抗体(抗-HCV抗体)的流行情况及其与梅毒螺旋体抗体(FTA-ABS)存在情况的关联。抗-HCV抗体的总体流行率为8.8%,FTA-ABS检测呈阳性的性工作者中抗-HCV抗体的流行率(19.4%)显著高于FTA-ABS检测呈阴性的性工作者(3.9%)(PR = 5.023,P<0.001)。未发现患者年龄或卖淫时间与抗-HCV抗体的存在之间存在统计学关联。
