Abstract

Introduction: Due to the availability of anti-retroviral treatment (ART), infected individuals with HIV in Sub-Sahara Africa live longer with reduced mortality and morbidity. But there’s rising cases of co-infection with viral hepatitis, reliable data on Hepatitis V virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C (HCV) co-infection prevalence among HIV infected adults in North Central Nigeria. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study was carried out among 289 seropositive drug experienced HIV patients attending Federal Medical centre Keffi in Nasarawa State from December 2019 to march, 2020. The enrolled participants  18 years were tested for anti-HCV and HBsAg. Serological markers profile for Hepatitis B virus was performed on HBV positive samples. HBV DNA viral load and CD4+ T cells cunt were determined using BD faces analyser and CORBAS Tag-MAN Ampli-prep analyser (USA) respectively. Results: The HBV/HCV coinfection prevalence among sero-positive HIV drug experience patient was 5.1%. the prevalence of HBV-HIV and HCV- HIV coinfection were 9.5 and 9.3% respectively. Active viral carriers of HBeAg) were associated with HBV-HIV co-infected individuals was 8.6% and the HBeAg is associated with sever immune-suppression and decrease in CD4+ T cells and increase in viral load. Dependent risk factors for HCV-HBV-HIV infection are: CD4+ T cells OR; 0.4 (0.1-1.5), age 18-30years 2.1 (1.6-2.1), multiple sex partners 0.7 (0.1-2.3). Participants aged 18–30 years [OR=2.1 (1.6–2.1); p=0.046], male gender [OR=0.9 (0.3–1.4); p=0.034], CD4+ T cell count [OR=0.4 (0.1–1.5); p=0.045], History of Blood transfusion [OR=0.8 (0.2–4.0); p=0.012] and being married [OR=0.6 (0.2–4.3); p=0.039] were independent risk factors of HIV-HBV-HCV co-infections. Conclusion: Increase in viral load, severe immune suppression and decrease in CD4+ T Cells was predominant highlights in HBV, HCV coinfection amount HIV patients, increase HBV, HCV screening should be encouraged among seropositive HIV infected individuals.
