Current incidence and residual risk of hepatitis B infection among blood donors in the United States
Transfusion, 08/11/09

Zou S et al. – Current HBV incidence and residual risk are lower than earlier estimates, especially in the youngest donors, but remain higher in the absence of HBV nucleic acid test than those for human immunodeficiency virus or hepatitis C virus (HCV).
