The prevalence of antibodies against Hepatitis C Virus (anti-HCV antibodies) and its association with the presence of treponemal antibodies (FTA-ABS) was studied in 227 non-drug abusing female prostitutes. The overall anti-HCV antibody prevalence was 8.8%, and a significantly higher prevalence of anti-HCV antibodies was found in prostitutes testing positive for FTA-ABS (19.4%) than in prostitutes testing negative for FTA-ABS (3.9%) (PR = 5.023, P less than 0.001). No statistical association was found between patient age or the duration of prostitution and the presence of anti-HCV antibodies.
