Secondary analysis of characteristics associated with Hepatitis B infection among participants screened for the SiVET studies in Kenya and Uganda (2014–2017)
HBV infection
SECONDARY, NAIROBI
We performed a secondary analysis among 1,340 (98.1%) screened participants, with a test result for HBsAg. The analysis of HBsAg positivity showed that age group and sex were associated with living with HBV after adjustment for other demographic variables. Participants aged 25–29 years were more likely to be infected than those <25 years (AOR 2.40; 95% CI 1.07–5.89). Males were more likely than females to be living with HBV (AOR 6.34; 95% CI 1.84–39.96). While participants from Nairobi were least likely to be living with HBV in unadjusted analysis, site was no longer associated with HBV infection after adjustment for other demographic variables.
