“…There is increasing evidence that triple infections of HIV/HBV/HCV is a common unrestricted health issues 2 which affects the clinical course of the disease [3][4] . They are overwhelming disease agents that shared modes of transmission [5][6][7] , thus HIV infected individuals are at risk of dual or triple infections with HBV and HCV infections 8 . Long-lasting infections with HIV, HBV, and HCV are major public health problems 6 which may potentially be as a result of virological interactions and could have an underlying immunological mechanism 4,[9][10] .…”

“…Dual infections with HIV/HBV or HIV/HCV and triple infections with HIV/HBV/HCV is also vastly prevailing among intravenous drug users (IDUs) [11][12][13] . Amongst the transmissible blood-borne viruses through the parenteral route (blood transfusion and sexual intercourse), HIV, HBV and HCV are significant and have numerous consequences 6,[13][14][15] . However, epidemiology of HIV-HBV-HCV triple infections varies as a result of differences in background of hepatitis infections and routes of HIV transmission 16 .…”

“…However, epidemiology of HIV-HBV-HCV triple infections varies as a result of differences in background of hepatitis infections and routes of HIV transmission 16 . These viruses does not merely create asymptomatic tenacious infections with chance sequelae, nevertheless they similarly lead to major illness and death when spread by transfusion 6,17 .…”

Background: Few studies exist on hospital-based seroprevalence of triple positivity of HIV/HBV/HCV in Nigeria. Objectives: The study aimed at determining the triple positivity of HIV, HBsAg and HCV among HIV-infected individuals in Abeokuta, Nigeria and defining the influence of these triple infections on CD4+ counts of HIV-infected individuals as antiretroviral therapy improves in Nigeria. Conclusion:The study further confirms that triple positivity of HIV/HBV/HCV infection is common in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Testing of these triple infections should be a big concern in the best choice and commencement of ART. Also, the study showed that consistent and prolonged use of HAART had a positive impact on the CD4 count of HIV-infected individuals.

“…In a study conducted in a hospital-based population at Kathmandu Medical College Hospital, Nepal, the prevalence rate of Hepatitis B surface antigen was found to be 2.5% 8 which coincided with the present study (2.5%). In India a low prevalence of 1.0% has been reported by Hussain et al 9 Seroprevalence of HCV infection varied among hospital based populations in different regions of India. More Seroprevalence rates (4.8%) were reported from Pondicherry 10 followed by Jodhpur (2.46%).…”

“…Analysis of our results showed that age and sex influenced the prevalence rates of HIV, HBV and HCV infections like that of other studies ( Figure 1& 2). 9,13,14 The higher prevalence of these viral infections in the age group of 21-50 is attributable to the higher sexual activity of this age group.

BACKGROUND: Viral infections are global health problems, affecting millions. Studies show wide variations in the prevalence patterns of the Human Immuno deficiency, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Virus infections. Prevalence of these infections may vary not only from country to country but also in different regions of the same country. The present study was designed to find out the seroprevalence of HBV, HCV, and HIV infections in patients attending a tertiary care hospital. METHODS: A prospective study was conducted for a period of one year from April 2014 to March 2015. A total of 4276 patients were screened for Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg), anti HCV antibodies and anti HIV antibodies. Patients with symptoms or signs of these viral infections and the patients for routine pre-surgical evaluation, referred by the clinicians were included in the study. Age, sex and serological result data was analysed for these patients. The results were analysed by Chi-square statistics. RESULTS:The sero-prevalence of HBsAg was 2.5%, anti HCV antibodies was 0.63%, anti HIV antibodies was 1.73% whereas, co-infection of HBsAg with HIV was seen in only three patients. CONCLUSION: In the present study, the sero-prevalence of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) was higher than HIV and HCV infections. As these viral infections are dangerous and cause morbidity and mortality, population based awareness & screening programmes are recommended to limit the further spread.

According to WHO, Malaysia has been classified as a concentrated epidemic country due to progression of HIV infection in the population of injecting drug users. The main objectives of current study are to determine the prevalence of HBV among HIV-positive individuals in a tertiary care hospital of Malaysia and to assess the predictors involved in the outcomes of HIV-HBV co-infected patients. A retrospective, cross-sectional study is conducted at Hospital Palau Pinang, Malaysia. The collection of socio-demographic data as well as clinical data is done with the help of data collection form. Data were analyzed after putting the collected values of required data by using statistical software SPSS version 20.0 and P > 0.05 is considered as significant. Results show that the overall prevalence of HBV was 86 (13%) including 495 (74.5%) males and 169 (25.5%) females among a total of 664 HIV-infected patients. It was observed that there is a high prevalence of HIV-HBV co-infection in males 76 (11.4%) as compared to females 10 (1.5%) (P = 0.002). The median age of the study population was 39 years. The statistical significant risk factors involved in the outcomes of HIV-HBV co-infected patients were observed in the variables of gender, age groups, and injecting drug users. The findings of the present study shows that the prevalence of HBV infection among HIV-positive patients was 13% and the risk factors involved in the outcomes of HIV-HBV co-infected patients were gender, age, and intravenous drug users.

HIV, HBV, HCV, and syphilis co-infections among patients attending the STD clinics of district hospitals in Northern India

Abstract: A substantial percentage of the outpatients seen in the clinics of the district hospital in Uttar Pradesh harbor HIV and viral hepatitis infections, which otherwise would remain undiagnosed without serological screening.
