Juveniles in custody are affected by sexually transmitted infections due to risky behaviors. Therefore, they have a disproportionate burden of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this study, the prevalence and associated characteristics of hepatitis B and HIV infections were assessed in young prisoners.
In this cross-sectional study, prevalence of HBV and HIV infections was assessed among young prisoners during 2008-2009. A checklist consisting of demographic, social, and risk factors was filled out and blood was drawn for their tests. Sera were analyzed for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag), hepatitis B surface antibody (HBs Ab), hepatitis B core antibody (HBc Ab) and HIV Ab, and Western blot test was performed on antibody-positive HIV.
A total number of 160 young prisoners (147 boys and 13 girls) were evaluated. The mean age of the subjects was 16.59 ± 1.24 year. HBs Ag, HBc Ab, HBs Ab, and HIV Ab were detected in 1 (0.63%), 1 (0.63%), 52 (32.5%), and 1 (0.63%), respectively.
With respect to national vaccination program against HBV infection, the juvenile prisoners had low prevalence of HBs Ab.
被拘留的青少年因危险行为而受到性传播感染的影响。因此，他们感染乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）和人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的负担过重。在本研究中，对年轻囚犯中乙型肝炎和HIV感染的患病率及相关特征进行了评估。
在这项横断面研究中，评估了2008 - 2009年期间年轻囚犯中HBV和HIV感染的患病率。填写了一份包含人口统计学、社会和风险因素的清单，并采集血液进行检测。分析血清中的乙型肝炎表面抗原（HBs Ag）、乙型肝炎表面抗体（HBs Ab）、乙型肝炎核心抗体（HBc Ab）和HIV抗体，并对HIV抗体阳性者进行免疫印迹试验。
共评估了160名年轻囚犯（147名男孩和13名女孩）。受试者的平均年龄为16.59±1.24岁。HBs Ag、HBc Ab、HBs Ab和HIV抗体的检测率分别为1（0.63%）、1（0.63%）、52（32.5%）和1（0.63%）。
关于国家针对HBV感染的疫苗接种计划，青少年囚犯中HBs Ab的患病率较低。
