Objective: HIV-HBV co-infection is a major public health problem that has not been sufficiently explored in the Central African workplace. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of HIV-HBV co-infection among people who living with HIV (PLHIV) in the infectious and tropical diseases department of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de l'Amitié Sino-Centrafricaine in Bangui. Methods: A retrospective study was carried out from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2021 in the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Department at the Amitié Sino-Centrafricaine University Hospital. It included the files of all PLHIV, which included the results of HBV serology. A standardized form was used to collect socio-demographic and professional data by documentary review. Data was analysed using Epi-Info 7 software. Means, proportions were calculated as well as Chi square witch was significant if p-value was below 0.05. Results: The study included 265 patients, 188 were women (70.1%) and 77 men (29.1%), giving a sex ratio of 0.45. Mean age was 35.8 years, higher in men (40 years) than in women (35.8 years) (p ˂ 0.0001). The age groups 25 to 34 (37.7%) and 35 to 44 (33.6%) were in the majority (71.3%). The majority of PLHIV were unemployed (57.1%), including housewives (43.0%). HBV prevalence was 14.3%, including 7.2% among the unemployed, who account for half of all co-infections. The search for associations between HIV-HBV co-infection and all socio-demographic characteristics (age, sex, marital status

“…The prevalence of HCV in Benin is 7.4% in Tanguiéta and 1.2% in Cotonou [34]. The prevalence of HIV-HBV co-infections in this study was similar to that of people living with HIV [11] but lower than that of men who have sex with men [31]. The prevalence of HCV in the CAR is higher than in Cameroon (1.9%) and Gabon (2.1%) with significant variations depending on the regions in Gabon [29] [35].…”

“…The prevalence of HCV was higher than in sub-Saharan Africa (2.9%) [30]. They are much closer to those of key populations for the first two viruses, a little more studied in CAR than the third: 34.0% for HIV and 19.8% for HBsAg (HBV) [31] [32] in CAR and that of hepatitis C in Egypt, the highest in the world [33]. The prevalence of HCV in Benin is 7.4% in Tanguiéta and 1.2% in Cotonou [34].…”

“…Many children there are infected with viral hepatitis during the first year of their life. Cirrhosis and primary liver cancer (hepatocarcioma), as secondary diseases caused by hepatitis infection are very common among young people in CAR [17]. The diagnosis of HIV is made widely accessible to pregnant women thanks to rapid screening tests carried out systematically and free of charge as part of the program to prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV.…”

Background and Objective: HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are very widespread in the world, however, less than 20% of the people affected are diagnosed and treated. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of HIV, HCV and HBV co-infections in pregnant women at Bangui Community University Hospital and the cost of screening. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving consenting pregnant women who came for antenatal care was performed. HIV, HCV antibodies and HBV antigens were detected using Exacto Triplex ® HIV/HCV/HBsAg rapid test, cross-validated by ELISA tests.

“…With a general prevalence of 3.4%, CAR has 120,000 people living with HIV [11]. HIV prevalence among MSM was 34.0% in 2013 [12] and 7.4% in 2019 in Bangui [13], respectively 10 times and 2 times the HIV prevalence in the general population. While sex work is well known and documented among women [14], the phenomenon does not seem to be studied among men let alone MSM.…”

Objectives: Sex work is not well documented among African men. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological profile of men who have sex with men (MSM) and eventually to determine the proportion of sex workers (SW) among them, as well as the proportion of MSM who have been victims of gender-based violence (GBV). Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study coordinated by the Direction de la Médecine du Travail was carried out
