Notes:
Percents represent column percents; percents in the “total” line are row percents
HAV=Hepatitis A virus; HBV=Hepatitis B virus; HCV=Hepatitis C virus; HIV=Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Ever being infected with HBV was identified with positive tests for either HBsAg or anti-HBc, acute infection was identified with negative tests for anti-HBs and positive tests for HBsAg, and being immunized against HBV was identified with a positive test for anti-HBs and negative tests for both HBsAg and anti-HBc.
Indeterminate results for HAV may indicate recent infection
