Results: HBsAg positivity in 14 (4.4%) and anti-HBs positivity in 124 (39.1%) patients was determined. Anti-HIV was detected in 67 patients. Anti-HIV positivity was not detected in any patient. Conclusion: As a result, HBV seroprevalence in the group of HCV-infected patients in our country is similar to that of the general population.
