Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study hepatitis C virus infection and related factors among newly reported HIV infections in Henan province.
METHODSBoth HIV-1 BED incidence and anti-HCV tests were applied on newly reported HIV-1 infections between 1 Jul. 2012 to 30 Jun. 2013 in Henan province.
RESULTS2049 HIV-1 infections were newly reported between 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013 in Henan province, with the positive rate of anti-HCV as 14.87% (271/1 887) and the proportion of BED positives was 26.34% (497/1 887). The recent HIV-1 infections appeared lower HCV prevalence than non-recent HIV-1 infection. Among 20-39 age group, HIV-1 infections had a lower HCV prevalence than among the other age groups. Patients carrying HIV-1 through injecting drug use showed higher HCV prevalence.
CONCLUSIONUnder results on BED; age, infection route and area were influencing factors of HCV prevalence in newly reported HIV-1 infections in Henan province, suggesting that corresponding prevention programs should be targeted.
