Özet

Background: The relationship between intrauterine device (IUD) use and anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) status has not been investigated yet. The aims of this study were to compare anti-HCV seropositivity between IUD users and nonusers and to determine whether IUD use is an independent risk factor for anti-HCV seropositivity.
