Prevalence of GBV-C/HGV was determined in a cohort of HIV-infected patients, via a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction detection of RNA in serum, amplifying the NS5 region of GBV-C/HGV genome. GBV-C/HGV RNA was detected in 143 (37.7%) of 379 patients, with similar results in the differen

## Abstract A study was undertaken to determine the prevalence and risk factors for serological evidence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Tests for antiβHCV antibody were carried out by enzymeβlinked immunoassay (EIA) on 101 HIVβ
GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV), a recently discovered orphan flavivirus, is distantly related to hepatitis C virus (HCV). Although both GBV-C/HGV and HCV can be transmitted by the parenteral route, their principal modes of transmission and associated risk behaviors may differ. Using revers
The development of new antiretroviral agents may improve survival of HIV-infected individuals, and therefore chronic viral hepatitis may become more relevant in these patients. The presence of GBV-C/HGV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA were investigated by reverse transcriptasenested polymerase chain
## Abstract Relatively little is known about the role of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype G (HBV/G) in patients coβinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and HBV. This study examined the prevalence and association of HBV/G to liver fibrosis in coβinfected patients. HBV genotypes were dete
