The objective this study was to determine trend seroprevalence over an 11-year period (2005-2015).In study, 355,083 donors were estimated for surface antigen (HBs Ag) seropositivity during 2005-2015 who referred infusion centers Lorestan province. Third-generation ELISA method used detect HBs Ag.The prevalence Ag 0.29% (1017). It decreased steadily from 2005 2015 (0.68% 0.12%) increased 2008 year. significantly (P < 0.001). decline HBV infection rates more prominent regular repeated donor's groups compared people donated first time 0.001).The result present indicated, city west Iran can be classified as a low-income region because low donors.
