“…A associação HIV/HBV esteve presente em 19% do total de sorologias analisadas, revelando prevalência inferior à encontrada em investigações realizadas nas regiões Norte e Sul do país, onde as taxas detecção do HBV foram superiores a 23% (1)(2) . Resultados referente a uma investigação na região centro-oeste do país (5) evidenciaram que a prevalência desta coinfecção encontrada naquele ano foi de 33.5%, aproximadamente 1.8 vezes superior à encontrada nesta investigação, confirmando a variabilidade da coinfecção de acordo com o período, região geográfica, fatores de risco e de transmissão aos quais a população estudada estiver exposta.…”

“…According to the Piauí Association of Prostitutes (APROSPO, as per its acronym in Portuguese), there is an estimate of 600 sex workers in Teresina (personal communication). Thus, considering an HBV susceptibility of approximately 80% in female sex workers (FSWs) (5)(6) , with a 5% tolerable error, a 95% confidence level and 2.0 design effect, the estimated number of women to compose the sample was 350. In order to compensate for losses and refusals, 15% were added to the previous number.…”

“…Globally, around two billion people have already been infected with this virus and 240 million are chronic carriers (2)(3) . In Brazil, where hepatitis B endemicity is low (4) , a higher prevalence for this infection has been observed in more vulnerable populations, such as sex workers (5)(6) . The hepatitis B vaccine is the most effective measure for prevention.…”
