Absence of active hepatitis C virus infection in human immunodeficiency virus clinics in Zambia and Mozambique

Academic Article

Abstract

  • Few studies have evaluated the prevalence of replicating hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in sub-Saharan Africa. Among 1812 individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus, no patient in rural Mozambique and 4 patients in urban Zambia were positive for anti-HCV antibodies. Of these, none had confirmed HCV replication.
