Figure INF-9. Prevalence of markers of HBV infection among injecting drug users — studies with national and subnational coverage

Part (i) Percentage ever infected (positive for aHBc), 2009 to 2010

 
 

Notes:

Black squares indicate samples with national coverage; blue triangles indicate 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.

Countries are presented by order of increasing prevalence, based on the average of national data or, if not available, of subnational data.
