Abstract

The article presents a study which characterizes the vaccination rate of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection from a national sample group of bisexual and gay men. The study enrolled a random sample of bisexual or gay men with reported histories of HIV, HBV, and sexually transmitted infections (STI). Results derived from multivariate analyses indicate a 46% confidence interval of men who had received HBV vaccine with higher vaccination rate in 18-29 age group compared to 50-59 years.
