title: [Carriers of HBs antigen, anti-HIV antibodies and their association with blood donors in Brazzaville].
abstract: Serum samples taken from 6,624 blood donors since 1984 to 1987, were tested for Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBs Ag) using a microhemagglutination assay and for anti-HIV antibodies by ELISA test. The mean carrier state of HBs Ag was 10.68% and that of anti-HIV antibodies was 6.99%. The association of HBs Ag and anti-HIV antibodies was discovered in 4.84% donors but without correlation for the period of the study.
