To evaluate the prevalence of the co-infection between the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), and the prevalence of factors associated with HCV transmission in a rural Cameroonian community.
The mean age of the 174 participants included in the study was 30.3 (standard deviation = 13.26) years (age range 12-77 years). the prevalence of HCV/HIV co-infection was 1.7% [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1-5.9]. The prevalence of HCV and HIV were 6.3% (95% CI 2.9-10.3) and 6.9 (95% CI 5.2-11.3), respectively. Histories of scarification (62.1%), multiple sex partners (31.0%) and sexually transmitted diseases (66.1%) were the most common risk factors of HCV transmission in this study.
评估喀麦隆一个农村社区中人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)与丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)合并感染的患病率,以及与HCV传播相关因素的患病率。
该研究纳入的174名参与者的平均年龄为30.3岁(标准差=13.26)(年龄范围12 - 77岁)。HCV/HIV合并感染的患病率为1.7% [95%置信区间(CI)1.1 - 5.9]。HCV和HIV的患病率分别为6.3%(95% CI 2.9 - 10.3)和6.9%(95% CI 5.2 - 11.3)。在本研究中,划痕接种史(62.1%)、多个性伴侣(31.0%)和性传播疾病(66.1%)是HCV传播最常见的危险因素。
