“…This result is also in agreement with the previous study at Debretabor Hospital [18]. The association might be due to the fact that HIV/HBV co-infected individuals have weak immunity than those with HIV mono-infected individuals which will make them more prone to opportunistic infection.…”

“…A community based sero-epidemiological study conducted in Addis Ababa revealed 7% HBsAg prevalence (Abebe, 2003). A hospital based survey at South Gondar showed 6.1% HBsAg prevalence (Balew, 2014). The HBV/HIV coinfection rate in this study is high is consistent with a study done in sub Saharan Africa (Burnett, 2005), Shashemene (Negero et al, 2011) and at Hawassa (Belayneh, 2015).…”

Hepatitis B infection (HBV) infection is a serious public health problem worldwide and its co-infection with human immune deficiency virus (HIV) is common due to shared routes of transmission. An increased mortality due to accelerated hepatic disease progression and the frequent hepatotoxicity caused by antiretroviral therapy are the challenges in the clinical management of HIV. Epidemiological studies on HBV and HBV/HIV co infection are scarce in Ethiopia, particularly at the study area. The aim of this study was to determine the magnitude of HBV, its risk factors and co-infection with HIV among clients of a voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) center in Southern Ethiopia. A facility based crosssectional study was conducted from 1st February 2016 to 15th March among clients of Nigist Eleni Memorial Hospital VCT Center. Data were collected by face-to-face interview and specific formula sheet as well recorded results of laboratory diagnosis of blood sample from each participant. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was done to identify predictors of HBV. Overall, 331 participants were included in the study. The prevalence of HBV was 8.8%, HBV/HIV co-infection was found in 3.6%. Individuals with a history of multiple sexual partner [AOR = 10.3; 95% CI, 3.71-28.83], previous history of invasive procedure [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 10.88; 95% CI, 3.84-30.86] and history of surgical procedure [AOR = 9.2; 95% CI, 3.1-27.88] were identified as in dependent predictors of HBV infection. High HBV infection and HBV/HIV co-infection was found in the study. Previous history of surgical procedure, invasive procedure and multiple sexual partners were identified as independent predictor of HBV infection.

Blood-borne disease is one of communicable disease through blood contamination.The aims of this study to determine risk factors for diseases transmitted from blood donors in Semarang District. The design study was a cross sectional with analytic approach. The subjects were blood donors (400 people) using an accidental sampling method. Statistical analyzed with fisher exact test and prevalence ratio with 95% significance level. Results showed the prevalence of hepatitis B and HIV was 1.5% (6 people) and 0.5% (2 people). Hepatitis C infection in this study was not found. From the statistical test showed that history of sexual behavior as a risk factor incidence of infectious disease through blood POR = 30.992; 95% CI (6.908 -139.041) with p = 0.001. Knowledge, types of injection drug use, sharing needles, blood transfusions, organ transplants, surgery, dialysis, dental examination, tattooing and piercing, and contact with the patient were not risk factors for the incidence of infectious diseases through blood in Semarang District. Indonesia Red Cross in Semarang District should conduct dissemination to the blood donors on the sidelines of the implementation of activities related blood donor infectious diseases transmitted by blood including agent, transmission, natural history, prevention and treatment.
