The prevalence of hepatitis B virus markers in 121 men and 239 women prostitutes was studied. Of 33 (9.7%) with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), nine (27.3%) also had hepatitis Be antigen, which was more prevalent in men than women. Antibodies to HBsAg (anti-HBs) and to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) were found in about 71% of men and women prostitutes. Hepatitis B virus markers were more prevalent in men than in women prostitutes. Compared with other people, prostitutes had a significantly greater prevalence of hepatitis B virus markers. This study strongly suggested the importance of sexual transmission of infection with hepatitis B virus in a country where infection is endemic.
对121名男性和239名女性性工作者的乙肝病毒标志物流行情况进行了研究。在33名（9.7%）乙肝表面抗原（HBsAg）阳性者中，9名（27.3%）同时有乙肝e抗原，该抗原在男性中比在女性中更常见。约71%的男性和女性性工作者检测到乙肝表面抗原抗体（抗-HBs）和乙肝核心抗原抗体（抗-HBc）。乙肝病毒标志物在男性性工作者中比在女性性工作者中更常见。与其他人相比，性工作者乙肝病毒标志物的流行率显著更高。这项研究有力地表明，在一个乙肝感染为地方病的国家，乙肝病毒通过性传播具有重要意义。
