Evaluation of Risk Factors for Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Individuals Infected with the HIV in Shiraz, Iran

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: HIV and HCV are major public health concerns. Because of similar methods of transmission, HIV-HCV co-infection is common. Except for injecting drug use, there was not common idea for other routes of transmission for HCV among HIV infected persons. The aim of this study is e...
