  • Title: Yellow alert. What you need to know about HIV and viral hepatitis.
    Author: Beaubien G.
    Journal: Posit Aware; 1997; 8(3):40-2, 45-6. PubMed ID: 11364424.
    Abstract:
    Most experts recommend hepatitis vaccines for people who are HIV-positive as the risk factors for both diseases are similar, but there is no firm link between viral hepatitis and the health or longevity of people with HIV. There are five forms of hepatitis, with varying health impacts, and experts estimate that as many as 75 percent of HIV-positive people either have Hepatitis B or have had it in the past. A table compares the incidence and prevalence of all types of hepatitis, and notes likely sources of infection and means of prevention.
