  • Hepatitis C virus infection in HIV-1 positive individuals from Slovenia
    Seme, Katja, 1966- ...
    The incidence of infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV) is increased among HIV infected individuals, reflecting shared epidemiological risks. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of HCV ... infection among 136 HIV-1-positive individuals from Slovenia. The overall prevalence of HCV infection in HIVpositive individuals was 16.9%, which is among the lowest prevalence found in similar studies from other European countries. The prevalence of HIV and HCV co-infection was the highest in hemophiliacs and intravenous drug users. A significant difference in HCV infection prevalence between blood and sexual exposure risk groups was found (76% vs. 1.9% respectively, p<0.01).
