Hepatitis C virus (HCV) seroprevalence in Mexico is linked to transfusion history and sexual behavior. Current estimates suggest approximately 1.2 million Mexicans live with HCV infection.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Multiple Mexican studies have investigated Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) prevalence.
  • Seroprevalence data indicates a strong correlation with transfusion history and sexual promiscuity.
  • Existing census and prevalence data inform current infection estimates.

Purpose:

  • To synthesize findings from Mexican HCV prevalence studies.
  • To establish the relationship between seroprevalence and risk factors.
  • To estimate the current number of HCV-infected individuals in Mexico.

Summary:

  • HCV seroprevalence in Mexico is associated with transfusion history and sexual promiscuity.
  • Based on existing data, an estimated 1.2 million Mexicans are currently infected with HCV.
