This cross sectional study was carried out among 146 garment workers from selected two garments industries to find out the magnitude of Hepatitis B virus infection in Narayangonj. Data was collected through face to face interview of the workers by using a pre tested questionnaire. The study was conducted during April to June 2007.Majority 56.2% were in the age group of 18-25 years followed by 32.9% were of 26-35 years. By sex partner majority 28.8% had their partnership with their husband, 11% had partnership with their wife and 2. 7% had sexual relation with their boyfriend and 5.5% had relation with their girlfriend, 8. 9% had history of sex with commercial sex worker. In this study only 11 (7.5%) respondents had HBV positive. Among them who had the history of inject able drug taking 8(2.05%) were found positive. Statistically it was found highly significant. History of jaundice, only 1 (0.7%) respondents had HBV positive while those who had no history of jaundice 10 (6.8%) had HBV positive. In this study it was found that 6(46.2%) HBV positive respondents who had sex with commercial sex worker and none of the respondents those who had sex with their wife were HBV negative.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to determine the magnitude of serum HBsAg and the risk factors for Hepatitis B virus infection among pregnant women in Bahir Dar. An institution based cross sectional study was implemented from February 1 to May 1, 2018 among 338 pregnant women attending antenatal care clinic at Felegehiwot referral hospital, Bahir Dar, 2018. Systematic random sampling technique was implemented. Blood sample was taken from 338 study participants and serum was tested for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) using Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay.Results The overall prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection among pregnant women were 16(4.7%) (95% CI= 2.7, 7.7). Having a history of blood transfusion (AOR=5.2; 95% CI=1.2-22.3), having a history of multiple sexual partners (AOR=4.6; 95% CI=1.1-19.6) and having a history tonsillectomy (traditional surgical procedure) AOR=3.4; 95% CI=1.1-10.1) were the significant risk factors for Hepatitis B virus infection.
