Multivariable analysis indicated the following were independently associated with HCV antibody positive: that older age (OR=1.02, 95%CI: 1.02‒1.03), male (OR=1.70, 95%CI: 1.19‒2.42), unmarried (OR=1.64, 95%CI: 1.44‒1.87), divorced or widowed (OR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.48‒2.02), Jingpo ethnicity (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.19‒1.63), injection drug use (OR=15.46, 95%CI: 13.13‒18.12), and HIV infection(OR=4.96, 95%CI:4.12‒5.99).
