- Abstract : Abstract: Among men who have sex with men traveling internationally, self-reported hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination prevalence was 77% and less prevalent among older men and those with HBV infection. The HBV infection prevalence was 25% and was associated with older age and HIV infection. Testing for chronic infection, universal vaccination, and treatment for populations with multiple risks is needed. Abstract : Hepatitis B virus vaccination coverage is still not universal among men who have sex with men. Vigorous testing for hepatitis B virus infection, universal vaccination, and treatment for populations with multiple risks for infection is needed.
