Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Microbiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Sexually Transmitted Infections are the most common infectious diseases worldwide and they present a huge burden of disease and adversely impact reproductive health of people. Worldwide over 340 million new cases occurred each year . STIs including Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) continue to present major health, leading to socio-economic problems and stigma. Among the various infections whose incidence has increased in the presence of HIV infection, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Herpes simplex virus infection stand out clearly. This is so, because the routes of transmission of these diseases are the same as those of HIV. Summary: The seroprevalence of HBsAg is 3.2%, HCV antibody is 2.4% and HSV IgM 1 and 2 antibody is 3.6%. Prevalence of coinfections of HBV/HIV, HSV/HIV, HCV/HSV, HBV/HCV/HIV and HBV/HCV/HIV/Syphilis is 0.4% each and HIV/ Syphilis is 0.8%.
