dc.description.abstractA total of 130 patients of liver cirrhosis (97 males, 33 females; aged 9-70 yr) of various etiologies were subjected to anti HIV antibodies testing by ELISA and supplementary Western Blot (WB) tests. Eleven patients were positive by ELISA. Of these 11 patients, 5 were WB positive, 4 were WB negative and 2 were indeterminate. Of the 5 WB positive patients none had received blood transfusions and one was a homosexual. These results indicate that HIV infection was present in 3.8 per cent patients of liver cirrhosis. Further studies are required on a large number of patients to recommend HIV testing routinely in cirrhotic patients.en_US
