Blood-borne infections are life-threatening challenges among prisoners. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of these infections and related risk behaviors among male prisoners. This cross-sectional study was performed on 1,034 voluntarily enrolled male prisoners in several prisons of Kermanshah province, Iran. All participants completed a questionnaire and were interviewed by an expert. To test the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections, 5-mL samples of blood were collected from all participants. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association of HBV, HCV and HIV infections with the related risk factors. Totally, 1034 male prisoners participated in the current study. The mean age of subjects was 35.52 ± 8.12 years, with a range of 19-64 years. The prevalence rates of HBsAg+, HCVAb+, and HIVAb+ in male prisoners were 1.25% (95% CI: 0.67-2.14), 22.2% (95% CI: 19.7-24.2), and 3.09% (95% CI: 2.1- 4.3), respectively. Backward logistic regression analysis demonstrated a marked association between history of intravenous drug use and HBsAg+. There was also a positive association between HCVAb+ and age, region, age at the time of first substance use, and history of intravenous drug use and camp residency, as well as heterosexual relationships. HIV infection was also significantly associated with history of intravenous drug use and homosexual relationships. Although HBV infection was shown to be lower in Kermanshah than other parts of the country, a higher prevalence was found for HCV and HIV infections in this province.

:血源性感染是囚犯中威胁生命的挑战。这项研究的目的是确定男性囚犯中这些感染的发生率和相关的危险行为。这项横断面研究是在伊朗克曼沙(Hermanshah)省的几所监狱中,对1,034名自愿招募的男性囚犯进行的。所有参与者均填写了调查表,并接受了专家的采访。为了测试乙型肝炎病毒(HBV),丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)和人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染的存在,从所有参与者中收集了5 mL血液样本。多变量logistic回归用于评估HBV,HCV和HIV感染与相关危险因素的关联。共有1034名男性囚犯参加了本研究。受试者的平均年龄为35.52±8.12岁,范围为19-64岁。男性囚犯中HBsAg,HCVAb和HIVAb的患病率分别为1.25%(95%CI:0.67-2.14),22.2%(95%CI:19.7-24.2)和3.09%(95%CI:2.1- 4.3) , 分别。后向Logistic回归分析表明静脉吸毒史与HBsAg之间有明显的联系。 HCVAb与年龄,地区,首次吸毒时的年龄,静脉吸毒史和营地居住地以及异性恋关系之间也呈正相关。 HIV感染也与静脉吸毒史和同性恋关系显着相关。尽管在克尔曼沙赫(Kermanshah)的HBV感染率低于该国其他地区,但该省的HCV和HIV感染率较高。
