This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis B and C viruses in the general population and to determine the most affected groups in relation to the risk factors associated with the infection. <jats:italic>Method.<\/jats:italic> A voluntary testing opened to anyone interested was held at Saint Camille Medical Centre in Ouagadougou. Rapid tests were carried out on 995 persons who voluntarily answered a range of questions before the venous blood sampling. <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> The results revealed that the antigen HBs carriers in the general population represented 14.47% (144\/995) and the prevalence of HCV was 1.00% (10\/995). The difference between HBV\u2019s prevalence in men (18.58%) and that in women (11.60%) was statistically significant <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">(<\/mml:mo><mml:mi>P<\/mml:mi><mml:mi>\u00a0<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mi>\u00a0<\/mml:mi><mml:mn>0.002<\/mml:mn><mml:mo stretchy=\"false\">)<\/mml:mo><\/mml:math>. The most affected groups were undergraduated students (19.57%) and persons working in the informal sector (15.98%).

Therefore, more campaigns on the transmission routes of HBV and HCV are needed to reduce the spread of these viruses in sub-Saharan Africa.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/781843","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,5]],"date-time":"2014-08-05T21:05:06Z","timestamp":1407272706000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Seroepidemiology
