Abstract

Background: HOMELESS PEOPLE are at a higher risk of blood-born infectious diseases. The aim of this study was to estimate the PREVALENCE of HIV, HBV, HCV and related risk factors among male HOMELESS PEOPLE.Study design: A cross-sectional study.Methods: This study was conducted in Khorramabad City, western IRAN from January to June 2015. A pre-designed validated questionnaire was used to collect the data on behavioral and other potential risk factors. Blood samples were taken in order to diagnose HIV, HEPATITIS B and C infections. The PREVALENCE of HIV, HEPATITIS B, C and related risk factors was reported with a 95% confidence interval (CI).Results: The participants were 307 male HOMELESS PEOPLE with a mean (±SD) age of 35.86 (±9.62) yr. The PREVALENCE of HIV, HBs Ag, and HCV Ab positive cases was 6.51% (95% CI: 4.23, 9.90), 0.98% (95% CI: 0.31, 3.00), and 31.27% (26.31, 36.71), respectively. The PREVALENCE of co-infections of HIV and HCV Ab+was 5.76% (95% CI: 1.34, 8.51). The most common recently used drugs were heroin, methamphetamine, and opium with a PREVALENCE of 44.30%, 41.04%, and 24.76%, correspondingly.Conclusions: According to this study, PREVALENCE of HIV and HEPATITIS C among HOMELESS PEOPLE was considerable. Abusing heroin, methamphetamine, and industrial drugs was also significant. Considering the association between drug abuse, HIV, and HEPATITIS C infections, planning for effective control and preventive interventions is important in HOMELESS PEOPLE.
