OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence of co-infection with HIV and human papillomavirus (HPV) among Brazilian individuals with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. METHODS: A prospective study was conducted that enrolled 103 individuals from the Ceará region of Brazil between January 4, 2010, and August 9, 2012. Eligible participants were men (n=45) or women (n=58) infected with HBV and/or HCV. Pap smears were collected from female patients. Material from male (urethra) and female (cervix) patients was then collected via DNA-HPV test and visual inspection with acetic acid. RESULTS: In all, 48 participants tested positive for HBV and 55 tested positive for HCV; 2 had dual infection with HBV and HCV. Co-infection with HIV was detected among 15 participants, whereas 20 participants were found to be co-infected with HPV. CONCLUSION: A high prevalence of co-infection with HIV and HPV was detected among Brazilian individuals with HBV and/or HCV.
