Article Synopsis
- There are 2.4 million people in the US living with chronic hepatitis B, but most of them don’t even know they have it.
- A specific test (iAHBc) can show if someone is likely to have a hidden hepatitis B infection, and further testing is needed if it's positive.
- In a study in Greater Philadelphia, they found that immigrants from Africa and the Western Pacific had higher chances of having this hidden virus, and better screening methods should be used to help find those who might be at risk.
