Detection of hepatitis delta virus RNA in cervical swab and seminal plasma of chronic hepatitis delta patients
HDV-RNA can be detected in cervical swabs and seminal plasma of patients with HBV/HDV coinfection, and the detection was more common in females than in males. The probability of HDV-RNA detection in male seminal plasma and female cervical swab samples can be predicted based on the HDV viral load in serum.
