Sexual Transmission of Hepatitis A in Homosexual Men: Incidence and Mechanism
Abstract
We performed monthly examinations and serologic tests for antibody to hepatitis virus A (anti-HA) in a study of 57 heterosexual men and 102 homosexual men followed prospectively for a mean of 8.9 months and 6.1 months, respectively. The initial prevalence of anti-HA was 30 per cent in homosexual men and 12 per cent in heterosexual men P less than 0.01). The annual incidence of hepatitis A in susceptible (seronegative) homosexual men was 22 per cent, whereas no heterosexual men acquired hepatitis A. Diaries concerning sexual behavior kept by homosexual men showed that the acquisition of hepatitis A virus infection contact. Hepatitis A should be considered one of the enteric infections that appear to be sexually transmitted among homosexual men.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
