Objective: To determine the prevalence and predictors of precancerous cervical lesions among HIV-positive women in Jos, Nigeria.

We report the seroprevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen among HIV-positive patients at a clinic in North-Central Nigeria. Screening for hepatitis B virus was based on serological markers. Alanine aminotransferase levels and CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts were compared between patients. The study showed that 9.2% were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen with significant differences between alanine aminotransferase levels of patients with and without hepatitis B virus. We recommend a national surveillance system to monitor control efforts.

Aims:The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of total Hepatitis B core antibodies (anti-HBc) among HIV-1 infected adults without Hepatitis-B surface antigen (HBsAg).
