“…It is important to emphasize the fact that a considerable number of employees may have denied past IDU in completing the questionnaire and during the interview for fear of discrimination, although they were informed about the confidentiality of information. This occurrence was also reported by Thomas (20) in an editorial. The use of inhalable drugs, particularly cocaine, has been associated with VHC infection (7,22) , but that route is not consensually accepted as a form of infection transmission (21) .…”

-Background -There are limited studies on the prevalence and risk factors associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. (P=0.0009, OR=44.4, CI 4.7 to 412.7) and hemodialysis (P=0.0004, OR=90.1, CI 7.5 -407.1) were independent predictors. Spatial analysis of the prevalence with socioeconomic indices, Gross Domestic Product and Human Development Index by the geoprocessing technique showed no positive correlation. Conclusion -The prevalence of HCV infection was 0.7%. The independent risk factors for HCV infection were age, InDU, Gluconergan® and hemodialysis. There was no spatial correlation of HCV prevalence with local economic factors.
