Abstract
A study in Egypt determined the prevalence of hepatitis B and C virus infections among barbers [‎n = 308]‎ and their clients [‎n = 308]‎ in Gharbia governorate, and assessed knowledge, attitude and practices during hair-cutting and shaving. HBsAg was detected among 4.2% of barbers and 3.9% of clients [‎more urban than rural]‎. Anti-HC antibodies were detected in 12.3% of barbers and 12.7% of clients. HCV-RNA prevalence was 9.1% among both barbers and clients [‎more rural than urban]‎. Knowledge was high among the majority of participants and good practices during shaving and hair-cutting were observed for the majority of barbers. Barbers appeared to have no job-related risk of acquiring viral hepatitis
