title: [Investigation of hepatitis G virus and human immunodeficiency virus infections in 831 healthy youths].
abstract: Antibodies to hepatitis G virus(HGV) and human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) by EIA were investigated in 831 healthy youths from 6 provinces. The results showed that the anti-HGV IgG positive rate was 2.53% (21/831). In 21 anti-HGV IgG positive sera, HGV RNA was detected in 8 sera by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The anti-HIV was negative in 827 sera. The data suggest that HGV infection actually exist in healthy youths.
