men who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately affected by hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) worldwide. In Benin, there are no data on MSM. The purpose of this study was to estimate HBV and HCV prevalence and HBV-associated factors in MSM who were HIV negative.
we conducted an analytical cross-sectional study. A two-degree random sampling was used to recruit 204 MSM. An immunochromatographic rapid test and enzyme immunoassays were used to detect HBV and HCV antigens/antibodies. Log-binomial regression was used to identify factors associated with HBV.
HbsAg positivity, history of hepatitis B infection and hepatitis C prevalences were 37.7%, 8.8 %, and 0.9 %, respectively. HBsAg positivity and history of hepatitis B were more prevalent in MSM aged ≥30 years compared to younger subjects: 16.7% versus 6.4% (p<0.0001) and 66.7% versus 28.8% (p<0.0001), respectively. Sexual intercourse under the effect of drug or alcohol and living in couple were also associated with HBV.
the prevalence of hepatitis C was low, but hepatitis B was common, especially among older MSM. Screening and vaccination against hepatitis B should be strengthened in this population.
在全球范围内,男男性行为者(MSM)感染乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)和丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)的比例过高。在贝宁,尚无关于男男性行为者的数据。本研究的目的是估计HIV阴性的男男性行为者中HBV和HCV的流行率以及与HBV相关的因素。
我们进行了一项分析性横断面研究。采用两阶段随机抽样招募了204名男男性行为者。使用免疫层析快速检测和酶免疫测定法检测HBV和HCV抗原/抗体。采用对数二项回归来确定与HBV相关的因素。
HBsAg阳性率、乙型肝炎感染史和丙型肝炎流行率分别为37.7%、8.8%和0.9%。与较年轻的男男性行为者相比,≥30岁的男男性行为者中HBsAg阳性率和乙型肝炎感染史更为普遍:分别为16.7%对6.4%(p<0.0001)和66.7%对28.8%(p<0.0001)。在药物或酒精影响下进行性行为以及同居也与HBV有关。
丙型肝炎的流行率较低,但乙型肝炎很常见,尤其是在年龄较大的男男性行为者中。应加强对该人群的乙型肝炎筛查和疫苗接种。
