Abstract

Background: HIV, SYPHILIS, HEPATITIS B and C (HBV & HCV) infections modify the epidemiology and presentation of each other. This study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of these infections and their co-infections in sexually transmitted infections (STI) clinic attendees in New Delhi, India.Methods: A retrospective study including 220 patients was conducted during May 2014 through December 2014. Serodiagnosis of HIV was performed as per Strategy III of NACO guidelines; SYPHILIS by VDRL followed by TPHA; HBV and HCV by rapid immuno-chromatographic test followed by ELISA.Results: Male subjects were slightly more in number as compared to females (56.36% vs.43.63%). Twelve (5.45%), 14 (6.36%), three (1.36 %) and one (0.45%) were reactive for HIV, VDRL, HBV and HCV, respectively. Three were both HIV and SYPHILIS positive and one was both HIV and HBV positive; no co-infections of HBV/HCV, HIV/HBV/HCV and HIV/HBV/HCV/syphilis coexisted.Conclusions: High prevalence of HIV, HBV, HCV and SYPHILIS in STI clinic attendees mandate routine screening to detect co-infections and follow prompt therapy in order to minimize their sequelae.
