HBsAg, anti-HCV and anti-HIV tests were examined using microparticle ELISA method and syphilis screening tests were performed by immunochromatographic assay. Anti HDV antibodies were examined by microELISA and HBV DNA was detected by Real Time PCR method in serumsamples reactive for HBsAg. Four thousand twenty- two male students were included in the present study. HBsAg was found to be positive in 11 (2.61%) students and their serum samples were examined with respect to anti-HDV and HBV DNA; however, no positive results were established. Moreover, no Anti-HCV, anti-HIV and syphilis were detected in these serum samples. In conclusion, in order to decrease risk for infection in a society, a great importance should be given for HBV vaccination programmes and screening tests should be performed regularly.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPolice School StudentHbvHcvHivScreening TestsArticle1512225WOS:000217177800003N/A
