Key Words Hepatitis C virus; human immunodeficiency virus; parenteral transmission; Middle East and North Africa; proxy biomarker
Core Tip The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has witnessed several major events of parenterally transmitted infections. Recent studies of hepatitis C virus (HCV) epidemiology established the utility of using HCV as a proxy biomarker for assessing the potential for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) parenteral transmission. Building on these novel ideas, we used HCV antibody prevalence data to assess the potential for substantial and/or sustainable HIV parenteral transmission in MENA. We found that HCV prevalence levels are consistent with limited potential for parenteral HIV transmission, but that there could be still opportunities for localized and isolated HIV outbreaks, particularly in formal and informal healthcare settings.
