A Study Of Prevalence Of Hiv And Hcv Infection And Their Co-Infection In Patients In A Tertiary Care Hospital In Navi Mumbai
Keywords:
HIV, HCV, HIV-HCV co-infection, risk factors
Abstract
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been an important and familiar health and social crisis for two decades. Less familiar, but also important, is Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection. These two viruses are similar in a number of ways, and infection with both is a serious problem. Both HCV and HIV are transmitted by exposure to infected blood.
