In order to evaluate the role of sexual transmission and parenteral transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in homosexual men and intravenous drug users (IVDU) serum samples from 147 homosexual men and 126 IVDU were tested for anti-HCV. Anti-HCV was found in two (1.4%) of the homosexual men and in 123 (98%) of IVDU. The presence of anti-HCV could not be correlated to the presence of HBV markers or HIV-antibodies. HCV is widespread among Danish IVDU. Risk of sexual transmission seems low even though sexual contact is a much more prevalent risk factor than needle sharing.
为评估丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)性传播和非肠道传播在男同性恋者及静脉吸毒者中的作用,对147名男同性恋者和126名静脉吸毒者的血清样本进行了抗-HCV检测。在两名(1.4%)男同性恋者及123名(98%)静脉吸毒者中发现了抗-HCV。抗-HCV的存在与HBV标志物或HIV抗体的存在无相关性。HCV在丹麦静脉吸毒者中广泛传播。尽管性接触是比共用针头更为普遍的危险因素,但性传播风险似乎较低。
