Core Tip |
Substance use, major mental illness and hepatitis C virus or human immunodeficiency virus co-infection were more common among individuals with acute HBV compared with those diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV). Acute HBV was mainly diagnosed in the White population, while chronic HBV was mostly diagnosed among people with East Asian ethnicity. The risk of acute HBV was highest among the younger population who injected drugs, while the risk of chronic HBV infection was highest among East Asian people with lower socioeconomic status. Differences in the profiles of people diagnosed with acute and chronic HBV suggest the need for different interventions for both population groups. |
