Implication

Elevated HEV seroprevalence in HIV may reflect shared transmission; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Is the prevalence of anti-HEV IgG increased in HIV-infected individuals compared to the general population and high-risk groups?

Population

HIV-infected patients, including those with AIDS, living in Russia (n=117) and Belarus (n=20), along with control groups including the normal population, male prisoners, and intravenous drug users.

Comparator

Normal population, male prisoners (high-risk control), and intravenous drug users

Outcome

Seroprevalence of anti-HEV IgGsurrogate

HEV infection in HIV patients likely shares common transmission mechanisms rather than representing an additional opportunistic infection in AIDS.
