• W2965276865 abstract "Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses infect millions of people around the world. People who use drugs (PWUD) are at high risk of such viral diseases and could be the source of these infections to other people. Shared needle, unsafe extra-marital sexual contact, skin popping and other risky behaviors are well-known risk factors for the prevalence of these infections among PWUD worldwide. There is no valid information regarding the danger and rate of the above-mentioned viral infections and associated risk factors among PWUD referred to healthcare facilities in Kabul, Afghanistan for the treatment and support. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of HBV, HCV, and HIV among PWUD in Kabul, healthcare facilities. Methods: This study was conducted in 7 public and private healthcare facilities at the primary care level in Kabul, which provides social support and medical care to PWUD. All patients who referred to the healthcare facilities from May 2016 to October 2016 and signed the consent were included in this study. Results: Out of 410 PWUD, 15 (3.7%) were positive for the HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), 45 (11%) were positive for HCV antibody, and one (0.2%) was positive for HIV antibody. Among the risk factor variables studied, the administration of drugs by injection was considered the most important for HCV (OR = 3.80, P < 0.01) and viral infections among PWUD (OR = 5.40, P < 0.01). Conclusions: This study draws attention to the high prevalence and spread of viral hepatitis among PWUD in Kabul, Afghanistan. The prevalence of HCV and HBV was higher among PWUD compared to general populations, and drug use via injection was an important risk factor for transmitting viral infections. Based on our results, active preventive programs focusing on educational campaigns targeted at the youth populations should be undertaken in Afghanistan. Further studies, especially among PWUD living without shelter in Kabul and other major cities of Afghanistan, are recommended in order to better analyze the dangers among drug addicts in Afghanistan." @default.
