Abstract

In order to obtain more information on sexual transmission of hepatitis C (HCV) we compared different high-risk groups for HIV and hepatitis B to see if they were seropositive for HCV. A high seroprevalence (38/81) of hepatitis C (HCV) was found among intravenous drug users. Nursing staff (n = 35) and patients of a dialysis unit (n = 57) had a low prevalence of anti-HCV antibodies (0% and 5%, respectively). Serology laboratory technicians also had a very low prevalence (0% out of 29). Among prostitutes (n = 114), healthy homosexual men (n = 132) and HIV-infected homosexual men (n = 31), we found a remarkably low seroprevalence of HCV (3.5%, 0.8% and 0.0% respectively). These data support the view that parenteral exposure to the virus is the most important way of acquiring the infection and that neither heterosexual nor homosexual promiscuity are associated with a high risk of transmission of hepatitis C.

摘要

为了获取更多关于丙型肝炎（HCV）性传播的信息，我们比较了不同的HIV和乙型肝炎高危人群，以确定他们是否丙肝病毒血清学阳性。在静脉吸毒者中发现了高丙肝病毒血清阳性率（38/81）。护理人员（n = 35）和透析单位的患者（n = 57）抗HCV抗体患病率较低（分别为0%和5%）。血清学实验室技术人员的患病率也非常低（29人中0%）。在妓女（n = 114）、健康同性恋男性（n = 132）和感染HIV的同性恋男性（n = 31）中，我们发现丙肝病毒血清阳性率极低（分别为3.5%、0.8%和0.0%）。这些数据支持以下观点，即通过非肠道途径接触病毒是感染的最重要途径，并且异性或同性滥交均与丙型肝炎的高传播风险无关。
