Abstract

Blood brother/sisterhood is a ritual that involves the exchange of a small amount of venous blood via the binding of excisions. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) could be transmitted by this ritual. Two cases infected with HIV and HBV by a blood brotherhood ritual are reported.
