It is a major public health concern because the disease is serious in terms of mortality or physical and \/or psychological sequellae in patients with HIV disease. The aim of the study was to assess the seroprevalence of<jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>IgG and IgM antibodies and associated risk factors in HIV infected and non-infected individuals attending Felege Hiwot referral hospital, Bahir Dar, Northwest Ethiopia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A cross sectional study was conducted at Felege Hiwot referral hospital, Bahir Dar, Amhara National Regional State. Venous blood samples were collected from 103 HIV infected pre anti-retroviral therapy patients at Felege Hiwot referral hospital and 101 HIV negative apparently healthy voluntary blood donors at the blood bank. Serum samples were analyzed for anti-<jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii<\/jats:italic>IgG and IgM antibodies using a commercially available ELISA kit. Socio-demographic and associated risk factors for<jats:italic>Toxoplasmosis<\/jats:italic>from each individual were also obtained and the data was analyzed using SPSS version 18.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the examined HIV seropositive individuals, 87.4% (90\/103) and 10.7% (11\/103) were positive for anti-<jats:italic>T<\/jats:italic>.<jats:italic>gondii<\/jats:italic>IgG and IgM antibodies, respectively. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression showed that anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic>seropositivity was independently significantly associated with undercooked or raw meat consumption (adjusted OR=5.73, 95% CI=1.35-24.39; P=0.02) and having contact with cat (adjusted OR= 4.29, 95% CI=1.08-16.94; P=0.04) in HIV positive individuals. In HIV negative apparently healthy blood donors, prevalence of anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic>antibodies were 70.29% and 2.97% for IgG and IgM, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that undercooked or raw meat consumption (adjusted OR=6.45, 95% CI=2.16-19.28; p=0.001) and sex (OR=6.79, 95% CI=2.14-21.60; p=0.001) were independently significantly associated with anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic>IgG seropositivity, with a significantly higher number of males affected than females.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present findings showed a high sero-prevalence of anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic>antibodies in HIV infected pre-ART and HIV non-infected apparently healthy blood donors in Bahir Dar. Consumption of undercooked or raw meat might greatly contribute towards acquiring<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic>infection in HIV infected pre-ART and HIV non-infected apparently healthy blood donors. It may be appropriate to include routine serological screening test for determination of anti-<jats:italic>T. gondii<\/jats:italic>antibodies in HIV infected pre-ART individuals and HIV negative apparently healthy blood donors. In addition, health education towards avoiding eating undercooked and raw meat, and avoiding contact with cats were recommended.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1756-3305-6-15","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,16]],"date-time":"2013-01-16T13:14:46Z","timestamp":1358342086000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["Seroprevalence and risk factors for Toxoplasmosis in HIV infected and non-infected individuals in Bahir Dar, Northwest Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Fisseha","family":"Walle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nigatu","family":"Kebede","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aster","family":"Tsegaye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tesfu","family":"Kassa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"797_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1217","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-7519(00)00124-7","volume":"30","author":"AM Tenter","year":"2000","unstructured":"Tenter AM, Heckeroth AR, Weiss LM: Toxoplasma gondii: from animals to humans.
