Abstract:

Objective: To investigate and analyze the infection of hepatitis B virus(HBV)and hepatitis C virus(HCV)in 992 HIV/
AIDS patients in Dali City. Methods: The epidemiological data was collected of the 992 HIV/AIDS patients who were confirmed by the
Second People's Hospital of Dali City from January 2005 to July 2018 and were receiving free antiviral treatment at antiviral treatment
sites. Patients were grouped according to whether they were infected with HBV/HCV. The co-infection status of HBV/HCV in HIV/
AIDS patients was statistically analyzed. Results: Among 992 HIV/AIDS patients, the infection rate of HBV was 3.23%(32 cases),
the infection rate of HCV was 32.26%(320 cases), and the co-infection rate of HBV and HCV was 2.52%(25 cases). Among the
patients with HIV/HCV co-infection, the proportion of middle-aged Han males with intravenous drug abuse was the highest, and
compared with the HIV/AIDS patients group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion: Among 992 adults with
HIV/AIDS in Dali City, the infection rate of HBV/HCV was higher than that of the whole country, and among the patients with HIV and
HCV, drug users were the major ones.
