Hepatitis A outbreak among men who have sex with men, Shinjuku, Japan, 2018
In Shinjuku, this outbreak almost exclusively affected the population of men who have sex with men. The detected outbreak strain has previously been reported in outbreaks among men who have sex with men in China, Taiwan (China) and Europe. For HAV prevention, the most important measures are raising awareness of the risk of HAV as a sexually transmitted infection via SNS and promoting immunization at the appropriate time.
