In Brazil, these co-infections prevalence is not well known since published data are few and sometimes demonstrate conflicting results. Also, a significant number of co-infected individuals are HBV\/HCV asymptomatic carriers, leading to under notification.ObjectivesThe present study aimed to determine the prevalence of the HBV and HCV infection in a recently diagnosed HIV population in the state of Cear\u00e1\/Brazil.MethodsRetrospective cohort, with &gt;18yo patients diagnosed HIV+ from 2008-2010. First year medical attention information was collected.ResultsA total of 1.291 HIV+ patients were included. HBV serologies were collected in 52% (23% had previous hepatitis B, 3.7% were co-infected) and HCV in 25.4% (1.5% had previous hepatitis C, 5.4% co-infection). The majority of HBV\/HIV patients referred multiple sexual partners\/year, 28% homosexualism and 20% bisexualism. In the HCV\/HIV group 38.8% individuals had &gt; one sexual partner\/year and 22.2% used intravenous drugs.ConclusionThe study reinforce the need for better training healthcare workers and providing laboratory support for a prompt hepatitis diagnosis and adequate medical management to avoid complications and decrease viral spread.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0004-28032013000400007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,3,25]],"date-time":"2014-03-25T02:47:06Z","timestamp":1395715626000},"page":"277-280","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["HEPATITIS B, C AND HIV CO-INFECTIONS SEROPREVALENCE IN A NORTHEAST BRAZILIAN CENTER"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Lara Gurgel Fernandes","family":"T\u00c1VORA","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Fortaleza, Brasil; Hospital S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elodie Bomfim","family":"HYPPOLITO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Napole\u00e3o Monte da","family":"CRUZ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio Central de Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica (LACEN), Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nyvia Maria Barroso","family":"PORTELA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Fortaleza, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samuel Montenegro","family":"PEREIRA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Fortaleza, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Camila Monteiro","family":"VERAS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Fortaleza, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1138","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/163.5.1138","article-title":"The influence of human immunodeficiency v\u00edrus type 1 infection on the development of the hepatitis B virus carrier state","volume":"163","author":"Bodsworth NJ","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Infect Dis"},{"key":"ref2","year":"2012"},{"key":"ref3","year":"2007"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"2010"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"85","article-title":"Summary of BHIVA guidelines for HIV and hepatitis B or C co-infection","volume":"8","author":"Brook MG","year":"2003","journal-title":"J HIV Therapy"},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"133","article-title":"HIV\/HCV [Coinfection at an university hospital in Recife, Brazil].
