Abstract

Background: Hepatitis C vi rút infection has also been a public health issue in various countries and Vietnam. This study promises to make evidence-based health policy and other particular preventive strategies. Objectives: To identify the prevalence of hepatitis C vi rút infection and its associated factors among the population aged 15 to 65 in Tra Vinh province. Materials and methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted on a population living in Tra Vinh province using representative sampling and the HCV antibody test. Results: The proportion of HCV infection was 1,01%, and the associated factors included the history of abscess incision or skin suture and sharing razors. Conclusion: This study's magnitude of HCV infection estimation is lower than near geographical areas but equivalent to the national report, which was around 1,0%. The exposure or behaviors related to HCV infection could be prevented by health communication and by reducing the risk of exposure to the vi rút in healthcare settings.
