BACKGROUND
Transfusion Transmissible Infections (TTIs) such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), syphilis, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are infections which are common in some communities in Southern Africa. It is important to screen blood donations for these infections.
METHODS
This is a retrospective study which involved reviewing of previous blood donation records for the year 2012 in Namibia. The records were analyzed to determine the prevalence of HIV, syphilis, Hepatitis B and C among blood donations with regard to gender, age and geographical region of the donors.
RESULTS
The findings indicated a significantly low prevalence of HIV, syphilis, HBsAg and anti-Hepatitis C among the blood donations. A low infection rate of 1.3% by any of the four tested TTIs was found among the blood donations given by the donor population in Namibia in 2012.
CONCLUSION
The blood donations given by the donor population in Namibia has a low infection rate with the HIV, syphilis, HBsAg and anti-HCV. A strict screening regime must continue to be used as the infections are still present albeit in small numbers.
背景
诸如人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）、梅毒、乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）和丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）等输血传播感染在南部非洲的一些社区较为常见。对献血进行这些感染的筛查很重要。
方法
这是一项回顾性研究，涉及查阅纳米比亚2012年以前的献血记录。对记录进行分析，以确定献血者中HIV、梅毒、乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎在性别、年龄和地理区域方面的流行情况。
结果
研究结果表明，献血中HIV、梅毒、乙肝表面抗原（HBsAg）和抗丙型肝炎病毒的流行率显著较低。2012年纳米比亚献血者群体所献血液中，四种检测的输血传播感染中的任何一种感染率均为1.3%，较低。
结论
纳米比亚献血者群体所献血液中HIV、梅毒、HBsAg和抗HCV的感染率较低。尽管感染人数仍然较少，但仍必须继续采用严格的筛查制度。
