Figure INF-9. Prevalence of markers of HBV infection estimated among national and subnational samples of injecting drug users 2006 to 2007, where data are available [see all figures in this series...]
Part (ii) Percentage positive for current infection (HBsAg)
Notes:
Dark squares are samples with national coverage; blue triangle are samples with subnational (including local or regional) coverage.
Differences between countries have to be interpreted with caution owing to different types of settings and/or study methods; national sampling strategies vary.
Part of data from Portugal and Hungary include non-IDUs and therefore may underestimate prevalence among IDUs (estimated proportion of non-IDUs in the samples not known).
Data for Portugal, Romania and Cyprus are limited to prevalence among IDUs in treatment and may not be representative of prevalence among IDUs who are not in treatment.
Data for Luxembourg and Poland are from 2005.
Countries are presented by order of increasing prevalence, based on the average of national data or, if not available, of subnational data.
