The prevalence of both the hepatitis-B surface antigen (HBsAg) and its specific antibody (anti-HBs) was significantly greater in the sera of White patients suffering from sexually transmitted diseases than that in White blood donors. However, Black patients with venereal diseases did not show an increased prevalence of either HBsAg or anti-HBs. These findings support the view that heterosexual transmission of the hepatitis-B virus is less likely to occur in populations in whom this infection is largely acquired before the age of sexual maturity.
患有性传播疾病的白人患者血清中乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg)及其特异性抗体(抗-HBs)的流行率显著高于白人献血者。然而,患有性病的黑人患者中HBsAg或抗-HBs的流行率并未增加。这些发现支持了这样一种观点,即在很大程度上在性成熟年龄之前就已感染乙肝病毒的人群中,乙肝病毒通过异性传播的可能性较小。
