title: [Prevalence of hepatitis C virus antibody among newly reported HIV infection cases in Henan, 2012-2014].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the prevalence of antibody to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) among newly reported HIV infection cases in Henan province, 2012-2014.
  
  
  METHODS
  HIV-1 BED incidence test and anti-HCV test were conducted in newly diagnosed HIV infection cases in Henan, which were reported through national AIDS information system between 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2014.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The data of 4 267 newly reported HIV-1 infection cases were analyzed, the positive rate of anti-HCV was 13.19% (563/4 267). The anti HCV was highest in those infected with HIV through injection drug use (77.27%), the anti-HCV positive rates in those infected with HIV through blood donation/transfusion, heterosexual contact, homosexual contact and mother-to-child transmission were 15.06%, 15.81%, 3.74% and 8.96%, respectively. Kaifeng (32.04%), Nanyang (14.67%), Shangqiu (25.00%), Zhumadian (25.00%) and Zhoukou (18.86%) were the first five prefectures with the high anti-HCV positive rates. The anti-HCV positive rate in BED positive patients (recent HIV-1 infections) was 7.50% (86/1 146). The multivariate logistic regressions analysis revealed that BED negative, aged >40 years, being farmer, HIV infection though injection drug use and living in in Kaifeng, Nanyang, Shangqiu, Zhumadian and Zhoukou were the risk factors for HCV infection.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The positive rate of anti-HCV declined between 2012-2014 in newly reported HIV infection cases in Henan, but the positive rate of anti-HCV was high in risk population and in some areas.
