Abdulatif Khmmaj, Elmukthar Habas, Massoud Azabi

Abstract


Hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and HIV infections represent a global public health problem. Transmission of these viruses occurs via blood and blood products transfusion and by sexual contact. The infections caused by the three viruses are not curable even with the latest available treatments. Effective vaccine is available only for HBV.
