b“Gender” is classified according to available information about an individual’s gender identity and sex assigned at birth from laboratory reporting, medical records, and patient self-report. Most persons identified as transgender had their gender identity collected through HIV surveillance, so persons not co-infected with HIV tend to be classified as female or male, even if they are of transgender experience.
cNeighborhood poverty level was defined as the proportion of residents in the ZIP code at the time of the first hepatitis report with incomes below 100% of the federal poverty level.
