Burden of hepatitis C virus infection in India: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Published in: Journal of gastroenterology and hepatology (2018)

Community-based data on HCV seroprevalence in India were limited. Large amount of data on blood donors and pregnant women were identified, with pooled anti-HCV seroprevalence rates of 0.44% and 0.88%, respectively. Among high-risk groups, anti-HCV prevalence was higher among people living with HIV, those with sexually transmitted diseases, high-risk sex behavior or injection drug use, and those receiving hemodialysis or frequent transfusions.
