| dc.description.abstract | The CD4 counts of HIV positive individuals witli hepatitis B surface antigen was a factor used to determine the immune status among infectecjhndividuals in Benue state. Total 966 males infected with HIV, 15 (1.55%) were positives for HbsAg-fwith CD4 counts <335 cell pL“' and in die female category, 10 (0.95%) of 1042 weie positive foi HbsAg-r with die CD4+ counts <420 at die initial CD4 cells counts. According to age, individuals aged between 30 and 39 years were positive for HbsAg+ with'their CD4 counts <;335 cell pL"'. The least in terms ot HbsAg-h carriage (0,34%) were those k50 years whose CD4 read <224 cell pL~l. After an interval of 6 months, die CD4 level declined' to <100 cell pL~'. However, tliere was a significant relationship in the degree of infection among sexes (Z = 0.40<3=1.96). HbsAg+ carriage rate was dependent on age (x2 = 7.82<0.05). | en_US |
