Abstract

Objectives: Infections caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) represent a significant health problem. Co-infection with these viral agents is not uncommon as a result of the similar transmission routes. Our study was planned to investigate the prevalence of HBV and HCV infections in HIV/Acquired Immune Deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients followed up at our institution.
