In: Macalino GE, Vlahov D, Sanford-Colby S, Patel S, Sabin K, Salas C, Rich JD. Prevalence and incidence of HIV, Hepatitis B virus, and Hepatitis C virus infections among males in Rhode Island prisons. Am J Public Health. 2004;94:1218–1223.
Data were incorrectly presented in a table ▶. In TABLE 3: Incidence of Hepatitis B Virus and Hepatitis C Virus Infection Among Male Prisoners, Stratified by Intake Characteristics: Rhode Island, 1998–2000 on page 1222, the number of prisoners that reported injection drug use and the number that didn’t report injection drug use were reversed. The corrected rows are (corrected numbers in boldface type):
