Objectives: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are important transfusion-transmissible infections. This study was performed to assess the Seropositivity of HBV and HCV Seropositivity among blood donors at a Tertiary Care Hospital based blood bank at SKIMS, Kashmir. Materials and Methods: The blood donation records over 10 years from Jan- 2003 to Dec-2012 were reviewed, retrospectively, for the seropositivity and yearly trends of HBV and HCV. Results: A total of 97427 donations were received. The overall number of HBV seropositive donations was 469 and that for HCV was 194, with the seroprevalence rates of 0.48% for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and 0.20% for HCV. The seropositivity rate was higher in the replacement donors compared to the voluntary donors and 0% in repeat voluntary donors. The annual rates showed decreasing trends for both HBsAg and HCV. Conclusion: The seropositivity of viral markers was lower in our study as compared with studies from other parts of the country. It was significantly lower in voluntary donors compared to replacement donors and repeat voluntary donors were found to be much safer.
