Blood Donors Status of HIV, HBV and HCV in Central Blood Bank in Tripoli, Libya:

Background: Post transfusion infections such as hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus

infection continues to be an important public health concern with regard to blood transfusion in

Libya and in Africa. This concern is related to the screening test.

Objectives: The main aim of this study to investigate the blood donors samples for HIV, HBV and

HCV infections in Tripoli-Libya, North Africa during the first five months of 2015.

Methods: The total of 686 blood samples obtained from healthy blood donors who attended Tripoli’s central blood bank, were tested for HBsAg, HCV and HIV using the VITROS® 3600

Immunodiagnostic System.

Results: From the 686 samples examined, the frequency of HBsAg positive cases was 0.8%, the

number of anti-HBc positive samples was found to be particularly high in the age group 29 and 36

years (p = 0.0001). The number of anti-HBc positive samples was found to be particularly high in

the age group 30-39 years (p=0.01). Most occupation that had positivity with anti-HBc and HBVDNA

were free workers and was less in students. Most positive cases were from east of Tripoli the

capital (Tagora, Soq-Aljomaha).

Conclusion: The frequency of HBsAg positive blood donors and anti-HBc among this sample was

0.8% and 0.7% respectively, which is low compared with the international findings. The current

study estimated the expected exclusion rate of anti-HBc and HBsAg positive donated blood, as this would be an important factor to consider before donation.
