Abstract
To detect the Prevalence of Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Syphilis and detection of Liver enzymes levels in HIV positive patients and thereby to establish the link of Liver enzyme levels by LFT in Hepatitis infection and HIV positive patients and also in patients who are VDRL reactive and HIV positive. Thus to conclude, The decreased CD4 count with elevated liver enzyme levels as seen in our study will cause further liver damage, hence ART should be immediately started in these patients. Hence routine screening for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C should be emphasized in HIV positive patients since its early detection can decrease the morbidity and mortality due to liver damage among these patients and screening for Syphilis should also be encouraged in HIV positive patients since its early detection can decrease the morbidity and mortality among these patients. By routine screening effective treatment can be implemented to increase the life span and quality of life among such patients.
