- W340184281 abstract "HIV/AIDS is a major public health problem in Nigeria. Thus, this study was carried out to determine the prevalence of HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies in a cohort of young adults, ages 16-40 years in Braitwhyte Memorial Specialist Hospital (BMSH), Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Two hundred young adults attending BMH were recruited for this study. There were 102 (51.0%) females and 98(49.0%) males and 109 (54.5%) were within age group 16-30 years of age while 91(45.5%) were within age group 31-40 years old. DETERMINE® HIV-1/2 and HIV-1/2 STAT-PAK® ELISA based kits, were used to detect the presence of HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Of the 200 young adults studied, 20 (10.0%) were positive for HIV antibodies. The study showed no significant age (11.0 vs. 8.8, P>0.05) and sex differences (11.8 vs. 8.2, P>0.05) in HIV prevalence of young adults. The 10.0% prevalence of HIV among the young adults studied could be very significant. Although the risk factors (age and sex) analysed were not statistically significant to HIV prevalence as shown in this study, however, public health education is highly needed to highlight the dangers of HIV. In conclusion, this study has further confirmed the presence of HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies in a cohort of young adults in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Early diagnosis of HIV may lead to prompt intervention management towards reducing the vertical transmission of the infection." @default.
