While ABO blood grouping reagents were used to detect blood grouped types. Questionnaires were used to obtained data from participants and analyzed statistically. Of the 184 enrolled, the prevalence of HIV was 4 (2.17%) while the prevalence of HBV infection was 18 (9.78%), 7 (3.80%) positive to HCV and 43 (23.37%) positive to HPV infection, also, the prevalence of HPV/HIV infection was 2 (1.09%), 3 (1.63%) positive to HPV/HBV and lastly, 2 (1.09%) positive to HPV/HCV respectively.
