Abstract: | We tested 869 subjects attending either an urban adolescent medicine clinic or a school-based clinic for antibody to hepatitis C virus. Demographic data indicated a representative study sample, and behaviors associated with hepatitis C virus transmission. One subject (0.1%) was seropositive for antibody to hepatitis C virus, indicating a very low prevalence of hepatitis C virus exposure in adolescents. |
