According to age distribution/ between the age of 30-39 years were HBsAg+ witii die CD4 counts<335 cell/pi and the least 288, T(4.0%) for HBsAg+ carriage rate, ‘die CD4 counts was <224 cell/pi between the age of >50 years old. At the second CD4 counts (after 6 months) the CD4 counts fell below <200 cell/pi and <100cell/pl respectively. However, there was a .significant relationship in the degree of infection among sexes given that, Z=0.40<±1.96. And HBsAg+ carriage rate was depended on age(x2=7.82<0.05) with a significant difference.enImmunologic. CD,4t-. HIV. Patients. HBsAg. Carriage rate.Article
