We examined the relationship between the presence of antibody to HCV and sexually transmitted diseases in 151 female, intravenous drug users aged 17-43 years. Anti-HCV was present in 49 of 66 HIV-l-negative women (74.2%), and 63 of 85 HIV-l-positive women (74.1%). Anti-HCV seropositivity was signifi
The mode of hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission in patients who deny parenteral exposure is still not understood. Seroprevalence studies of anti-HCV in sexually promiscuous populations and in spouses of infected patients have given contradictory results. We investigated the role of sexual transmiss
Although it is established that infection with GB virus C (GBV-C) or hepatitis G virus (HGV) can be transmitted parenterally, the prevalence of GBV-C/HGV viremia in the general population (2-5%) is relatively high compared with other parenterally borne viruses such as hepatitis C virus. To investiga
