Context:The ultimate goal of a blood transfusion service is the provision of safe and adequate supply free from transfusion-transmitted infections (TTIs). TTIs not only threaten the recipient's safety, but they also increase disease burden. Seroprevalence of TTIs in healthy blood donors indirectly reflects the prevalence of these infections in the general healthy population.Aim and Objectives:To study the seroprevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) in healthy donors at a tertiary care hospital-based blood bank. To know the yearly and age-group prevalence of these TTIs as compared with other studies across India.Settings and Design:This is 5 years observational cross-section study conducted in a tertiary hospital-based teaching institute of Central India (Malwa region).Materials and Methods:The results of serological testing of TTIs and donor variables were analyzed during 2011–2015.Statistical Analysis Used:Chi-square test and Chi-square for trend analysis on TTIs prevalence.Results:A total of 58,998 donors were screened for TTIs with dominance of male donation (99.7%). The overall cumulative seroprevalence was 1.14% in our study. The seroprevalence of HIV, HBV, and HCV was 0.09%, 0.98%, and 0.07%, respectively. We found a statistically significant increasing trend for HCV seropositivity during the study.Conclusion:Our study reflects an increasing trend of HCV seroprevalence over time. Thus, efforts are needed to increase the awareness and to educate the population in reducing risk factors for HCV infection.

“…When the positivity distribution was analysed according to gender, the rates were found to be 1.43% in males and 0.9% in females (9,10). In similar studies conducted on donors, hBsag positivity rates were found to be 1.76%, 0.86%, 3.3%, and 1.06% (11,12,13,14). When the different studies performed in our country were examined, hBsag positivity rates have been realized to vary according to the region and the years, and these rates ranged from 2.5% to 12.6% (Table 5).…”

“…Similar findings by Dhruva et al 27 22 We observed a trend of decreased HIV prevalence from 0.09% to 0.04% during 2015-2018 similar to other studies. 24,26,28 Some studies have shown an increasing trend also like one by Sabharwal et al 30 and Patel et al 31 showed an increasing trend of HIV from 2007 to 2011 and 2009 to 2011 respectively.This discordances may be due to the difference in the study population,study period and study areas.…”

Introduction: Blood transfusion is both a life saving measure in many medical and surgical emergencies and a source of transfusion transmitted infections. So a provision for strict criteria in recruitment and deferral of blood donors may improve safe transfusion practice. The present study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of transfusion transmitted infections in voluntary and replacement donors at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Indore,
