Abstract: Objective To understand the infection of hepatitis C virus(HCV) and treponema pallidum among human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) single-infection couples in Queshan county.   Methods A total of 362 HIV single-infection couples in Queshan county were enrolled as experiment group. The blood of 169 HIV-positive spouses and 339 HIV-negative spouses had been extracted. The anti-HCV and anti-treponema pallidum antibodies had been detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The 1 700 healthy subjects in local hospital were enrolled as healthy controls. Results The HCV infection rate of the HIV-positive spouses was 85.8%(145/169).It was significantly higher than that of HIV-negative spouses[34.8%(118/339),χ2=117.4,P<0.01]. The HCV infection rates of the 2 groups were higher than that of control group [4.6%(78/1 700),χ2=891.3,P<0.01]. The HCV infection rate of HIV single-infection couples was 91.1%. The difference of treponema pallidum incidence was not significant between experiment group and control group(χ2=1.764,P>0.05). Conclusions It is indicated that blood is the main route of HIV infection among HIV single-infection couples in Queshan county,and the HCV concurrent infection should be paid attention while preventing the pathophoresis of HCV.
