Abstract
Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are among the main public health concerns in the world and are serious infectious diseases. In the first 6 months, the most infections with that viral hepatitis have no symptoms; therefore, diagnosis of the virus in the early stage is difficult. Syndromic approach for management is widely used to control and reduce the burden of sexually transmissible diseases; however the magnitude of viral hepatitis B and hepatitis C infections is still underreported in Ethiopia among sexually transmitted syndromic diagnosed patients
