Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a RNA virus transmitted enterically. A study of anti-HEV antibodies in 145 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected subjects found that 14.4% of them were reactive to anti-HEV antibodies. Anti-HEV IgG and anti-HEV IgM was detected in 10.3% and 4.1% of the subjects respectively. Prevalence of anti-HEV (either IgG or IgM) was similar across all adult ages (p = 0.154), between the three ethnic groups (p = 0.378), and across risk groups (p = 0.120). The results showed that HEV infection in subjects recruited in this study was most likely transmitted via faecal-route.
戊型肝炎病毒（HEV）是一种经肠道传播的RNA病毒。一项针对145名1型人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV-1）感染者的抗HEV抗体研究发现，其中14.4%的人抗HEV抗体呈阳性反应。分别在10.3%和4.1%的受试者中检测到抗HEV IgG和抗HEV IgM。在所有成年人年龄组中（p = 0.154）、三个种族群体之间（p = 0.378）以及不同风险组中（p = 0.120），抗HEV（IgG或IgM）的流行率相似。结果表明，本研究招募的受试者中的HEV感染很可能是通过粪口途径传播的。
