Abstract

Introduction: HEPATITIS B may be transmitted via several pathways, within them SEXUAL TRANSMISSION plays an important role during adulthood. The strong epidemiologic evidence on intra-familial spouse-spouse transmission of this illness is lacking, and this study is to investigate this issue. Methods: The study sample was selected by random cluster sampling all over IRAN. Blood samples were transferred to one reference lab, and tests of HbsAg were performed using ELISA method.Results: Generally,15944 case were studied, within them 2.64%were positive for HbsAg. Prevalence in married men was 2.92% whereas prevalence in married woman was found to be 1.97%. In exposed men 9.24% was positive for HbsAg, and in unexposed men 1.52% were positive (absolute risk increase in men= 7.72%, relative risk= 6.08). Among patients wives the ratio was 6.43%, whereas in unexposed women 1.02 found to be positive for HbsAg .Absolute risk increase in wives of affected husbands was calculated 5.41% and relative risk was 6.30 (RRI=530.38%). Discussion: The results support the probability of SEXUAL TRANSMISSION of HEPATITIS B in non-riskful sexual contacts ie, between spouses within family. It is now also evident that the transmission is not only from wife to husband, but also from husband to wife by an almost similar rate.
