The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of HCV infection among 136 HIV-1-positive individuals from Slovenia. The overall prevalence of HCV infection in HIVpositive individuals was 16.9%, which is among the lowest prevalence found in similar studies from other European countries. The prevalence of HIV and HCV co-infection was the highest in hemophiliacs and intravenous drug users. A significant difference in HCV infection prevalence between blood and sexual exposure risk groups was found (76% vs. 1.9% respectively, p<0.01)TEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZdruženje slovenskih dermatovenerologov
