Abstract
Aims: Blood transfusion is an important mode of transmission of infections to recipients. The aim of the study was to analyse the seroprevalence of HIV, HBsAg, and HCV in the blood donors. Materials and Methods: All donors who attended the blood bank of Siddhartha Medical College, Vijayawada over a period of threeyears (January 2014 to December 2016) have been studied. The donor data was documented for each case including the seropositivityfor HIV, HBsAg and HCV. A total of 9412 blood units collected from the donors were tested for HIV, HBsAgand HCV. Results: The seroprevalence of HIV, HBsAg, and HCV was 0.36%, 0.91% and 0% respectively among total blood donors. Conclusion: The seroprevalence of HBsAg was more compared to HIV and none of the donor was positive for HCV
